Understand the concept of separation anxiety: it is a developmental stage where infants and small children show distress when separated from their primary caregivers.
Recall typical developmental milestones related to attachment and emotional regulation in infants.
Identify the age range during which infants develop a strong attachment to caregivers and begin to understand object permanence, which contributes to separation anxiety.
