This week, Vanessa Feltz and Saskia Joss dive into the emotional rollercoaster of separation anxiety. That all too familiar moment when a simple goodbye turns into a full-scale meltdown. Whether it’s school drop-off, bedtime or just stepping out of the room, they explore why some children struggle so deeply with separation, what’s really going on beneath the tears and how parents can support their children without losing their own sanity in the process.
Vanessa opens up about a memorable trip that brought separation anxiety to the forefront in her own family. And together with heartfelt stories, psychological insight and practical advice, the duo talk through the subtle signs of anxiety that parents often miss, the dos and don’ts when emotions run high and how to build confidence and trust in children who find goodbyes just too hard.
