Hi everyone. My son is now 4 years old and I have decided to go back to work after taking care of him full time for the last two years. How do I manage separation anxiety? I really have a hard time heading to work in the morning even if he already goes to school himself.

These are the teething problems, not only the baby but you too are taking time to get back to your previous routine. Since, you have not only taken the decision to get back to work but have also started going, I suggest hold on for a while, and you both will get used to it. For the time being all you can do is when you are back from work, spend that time with your kid. Go to park with him, tell him stories ( not online) but either read for him or the ones you know. Eat together and cuddle him run around the house, do all little things and this all will make your bond stronger and instead on sulking on the time he is away with you, you both would look forward to that time of the day when you too will be together. See how things go, and if you still suffer from separation anxiety, you can take up some part time job or home based job.
