分离焦虑真的是早教圈儿很火的问题，可是这个分离焦虑到底是个什么鬼？惹得众多宝爸宝妈头痛不已。Rompy爸的好友悦悦爸爸最近也被这个问题搅得不得安生，我们看看博士怎么说，能不能给我们一个科学的解释。
：
For the first six months since he was born, you have been taking care of your baby then leaving the room. And he was fine with that. Now, all of a sudden, every time you depart, your baby starts crying and screaming in protest. Why is that?
宝宝刚降生的前6个月，你照顾完宝宝就离开房间。宝宝会很自在的待着。但现在是不是每次你离开他都会以哭叫来抗议？为什么呢？
This is what developmental psychologists refer to as “separation anxiety.” And despite their use of the word “anxiety,” it is not an emotional problem. It actually is a normal side effect of advances in cognitive development.
这一心理发育阶段被称之为“分离焦虑”。虽有焦虑一词，但并不是心理问题。实际上这是意识发展的一个很正常的形成阶段。
For the first half year, babies are incapable of holding on to information and experience in mental form. They live only in the here and now. There is no past or future, just the present moment. If something is not immediately available to their senses, it does not exist. Out of sight is literally out of mind. Let’s say a four-month-old baby is sitting in a high chair playing with a rattle. He drops it and it rolls where he can’t see it. What does he do? Cry? No. He merely goes on to something else.
在最初的半年里，宝宝还没有能力将信息和经历留存在头脑中。他们生活在当下，没有过去和将来的意识。如果一个事物突然从眼前消失，那么在他们的意识里，这个事物就不存在了，看不见即不存在。一个4个月的宝宝坐在高高的婴儿椅上玩沙锤。沙锤从他手中滑落并滚到了他看不见的地方。宝宝会怎么做？哭？不会，他会转而关注其它事情。
The ability to form and store mental images arrives at about six months. So let’s say the same baby is sitting in the same high chair playing with the same rattle. He drops the rattle and it rolls where he can’t see it. What does he do? He may cry. But before he does he will look around, trying to find the object he knows is still there somewhere.
吸收存储信息的能力到6个月左右才能形成。那么6个月的宝宝坐在高高的婴儿椅上，他手中的沙锤掉落并滚到了他看不见的地方后，他又会做什么呢？他可能会哭，但之前他一定是先到处看，去找那个沙锤，他知道这个玩具是存在的，一定在什么地方。
So it is not until six months that your baby becomes mentally capable of missing you when you are gone. Separation anxiety is simply the natural consequence of his developmental progress. And after seeing you leave and come back several times over the next few weeks, the alarming reaction to your departure should fade away.
所以，只有宝宝6个月后才会意识到你的离开。分离焦虑只是自然发育成长的一个环节。当再过几周，你出来进去很多次，这种对你离开的应急反应也会慢慢减轻。
小编说：听完博士的解释，爸爸妈妈们是不是对分离焦虑有了新的认识？自然发育成长的环节很快就会过去了，宝宝们的成长可是很迅速的，很快就长成小小男子汉和懂事的小淑女，当他们有了自己的社交，你也许还会怀念宝宝跟你难舍难分的小眼神。
