Can there be anything you can do for a child with seperation anxiety other than medication?

It depends: Depending on the age of the child, a good therapist can work with her to help her learn to trust and relieve some of the separation anxiety. Play therapy works for younger children and more talking type therapy for older ones. Always talk to your child and remind her that you will come back. When you get home again, remind her that you came back, just like you said. I wouldn't recommend medicine.

Important Side Note: According 2dr lynn miller-psychologist/profssr @u of british columbia 85% of young children whose parents answer(ed yes 2these two q's will develop an anxiety disorder later in life: 1)"is ur child more shy or anxious than other children his/her age?";& 2)"is ur child more worried than other children his/her age?" get kids help early! help them recognize their anxiety & learn 2manage it effecively.
