A young woman with a 2.5-year-old contacted me lately for something "essential." She appeared hurried and worried, so I sat her down after class, handed her a drink of water, and inquired about the situation. Her 2.5-year-old is ready for preschool, and mom was hyperventilating since her child is a clinging kid. 'He has never been apart from me for even a second, how will he settle down at school?' 'He even sobs when I walk to the washroom,' I was swamped with inquiries. 'How do I tell him I'm not going to school with him?', 'He isn't even potty trained.' What if he gets the most important position in school?'
