My 6 yr old daughter is having a terrible time with separation anxiety. The anxiety seems to have gotten worse lately, I was hoping it was just a "phase" she was going through. She is experiencing nausea (almost to the point of vomiting), does not want me to leave her, afraid I am going to forget her somewhere, afraid something is going to happen to me, and has a terrible time with change. I am a stay-at-home mom 6 out of 7 days of the week. She started 1st grade last week. She cried "all day" per her teacher today to the point of her eyes almost swollen shut and having a horrible headache. I also have 18 mo. old twins and a 8 mo. old. I have tried to always make "special time" for my 6 year old since the other children have been born. I am considering taking her to a counselor and any advice would be greatly appreciated.
