I personally went through the struggle of seperation anxiety with my son. As a mother this was hands down the hardest part of parenting I have went through thus far! I swear by this book. It was the only thing that gave my son the bravery to go to school! This book truly is magic!

This booked really helped my 4 yo with a sudden bout of separation anxiety she developed. We each wore the charms bracelets when we were apart and she would tell all her friends and teachers about it.
One thing I wished was different was the string the bracelet was made from. It was always coming undone.
