Description: "The book talks about how I dealt with a four-year-old who could not come to terms with the fact his dad will be gone for a whole year. The book gives an insight into our six-month struggle in how to help my son cope. I think this book will help any and everyone deal with separation anxiety and not to make the same mistake I did in the beginning." -- The author discusses her experiences as a military spouse whose four year-old son suffered from severe separation anxiety during his father's year-long deployment. She explains the mistakes that she and the other adults in her son's life made while trying to help him overcome his anxiety at his father's absence. She also shares the parenting skills and coping techniques that finally helped her and her son manage his fear, anger and anxiety.
