Separation anxiety: Why children seemingly cry out of nowhere

Many parents have had to deal with it. A child crying seemingly out of nowhere. This is a common struggle amongst American parents. However, most American parents think that crying out of nowhere is a means to "undermine parental authority". However, the truth behind your child's random cries will likely break your heart - they need YOU. 

Tending to your children's cries is a part of the Christian commandment of secure attachment in the family home. See Colossians 3:20 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers here to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and submission of parents. This highlighted word ultimately refers to a secure attachment between parent and child in the family home. The key to forming a secure attachment is to tend to the every cry of your child, as was done in the biblical context. Christian parents then knew more than parents today that most cries from a young child are due to separation anxiety. The Early Christians were attachment parents, and thus the context tells us how to be an attachment parent, and how to deal with the cries of separation anxiety.

Christian parents in the Early Church knew more than parents today that children need their every need tended to, especially attachment needs, and that crying out of nowhere was due to separation anxiety. Children under age 6 were usually morbidly afraid of mothers "going away and never coming back". The key behind tending to this sort of anxiety is to reassure children of your presence, telling children "I'm here, and I'm going nowhere". 

Children who have an attachment need usually cry a deathly, screeching cry that no loving mother could ignore. This cry was designed by God to break down mothers, and continue to break them down, until they met the every vulnerable need of children. In most cases, all the child needs is YOU. 

It is recommended that mothers quit their job in order to care for their children in the child's formative years. For the first 6 years of childhood, children growing up in the Early Church were morbidly afraid of mom "going away and never coming back". Whenever you leave the house without your child, you realize their worst fears. Children are afraid of you leaving them unattended, so tend to their every cry. They are only little once!

The depraved and entitled parents who punish their children for crying will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let then descend into the Hell of fire and torment, suffering God's Wrath day and night forever and ever! Repent!
