Separation anxiety: If he's been checked out by his Dr. and his exam is normal,it means he's in his separation anxiety phase. The problem is that if you continue to pick him up every time he screams, he'll continue to have tantrums. I advise starting with 5 minutes of being in another room, then coming back. When he tolerates that, gradually increase the amount of time. Ensure he has toys with him. He'll learn.
