I have a 3 and 4 year old who are going through some serious seperation anxiety since their dad left us. They will not let me out of their sight, literally, and I think it is because they are afraid I will leave them too. I assure them every day, multiple times, but it has not gotten any better. Does anyone have any good recommendations for any reading material that may help me help them? I must be doing something wrong!

KandA-My heart aches for you and the kids. I'm sure you are right that they think you might leave them too. The very best thing you can do for them at this age is to reassure them that you will NOT leave them, you love them and you will do your darndest to ALWAYS be there for them. Just some extra love, hugs and kisses at this time will help them get through this. Assure them that this is not their fault too. I don't have any books to recommend, but having been through this when my children were yours ages, being open and honest with them is very important. You will get through this. Take care of you too.

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
