| | Not wanting parents to be out of sight: following them around the house, requests to sleep in the parents' bed at night |
| | Nightmares about parents being gone or leaving |
| | Excessive worry about family members’ safety or the child’s own safety |
| | Excessive worry or panic when anticipating or experiencing a separation from home |
| | Refusal to go to school or other activities away from home |
