"There are six reactions of children when the mother is not around her child. The pattern may be 1)depression, 2)agitation or distress, 3)rejection, 4)apathy, 5)regression or 6)clinging. ... When can a child withstand separation from the mother? Up to two years of age is a high anxiety time; from two to three years of age is a lesser anxiety time."
-Hugh Riordon, Director, The Olive W. Garvey Center of Human Functioning
