Separation anxiety is predictable in children entering school for the first time, but the diagnosis of this disorder is made when excessive anxiety is disproportionate to the level of development and when separating from the attached person. Separation anxiety disorder is a mental disorder in which a person becomes very anxious due to being away from home or from people with whom they have a lot of emotional attachment.

Separation anxiety disorder is a mental disorder in which a person becomes very anxious due to being away from home or from people with whom they have a lot of emotional attachment. This disorder can cause severe disorders in various aspects of life (such as academic or social performance). The fourth revised text, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR) classifies separation anxiety as a disorder that is first diagnosed in infancy, childhood, or adolescence. Disproportionate anxiety disorder in the DSM-5 is divided into two types: the first type, separation anxiety disorder, starting in the DSM-5, has been reported as disproportionate in dealing with being away from home or being separated from those on whom the child is dependent. Adult (ASAD) and another type starting in childhood (CSAD), researchers have confirmed the importance of parental factors in trying to identify the factors affecting child separation anxiety (Khorshidvand, Rahimian Booger and Talepsan 2015 and Pirzadi 2018). In this regard, Ingelberg and Ssuberg (2005) showed that positive parental behavior reduces child anxiety. Arab, Al-Kashki, and Hadwin (2015) showed that childhood separation anxiety disorder is a definite factor in predicting ADHD in adulthood. And the findings of Kern, Renault, Kendall, Wood, and Stork (2017) suggest that when a parent fails to recognize and respond appropriately to a child's emotions, the child, because of his or her role modeling, is able to recognize and manage his or her emotions. Loses and easily becomes anxious.
