My kid is 6 year old and suddenly he has become very clingy. He feels very insecure without me. What could be the reason?

Hi dear, do you think your kid recently experienced something that could make him feel too needy towards you? Maybe you went for a work trip or were not with him for some time? Or was there any death in the family or in a known family that could have triggered this reaction? At the age of 6, kids usually start understanding the feelings of loss and abandonment. Even if you have always been around him, maybe he saw something in a movie or on the television? Or did you and your partner happen to have a fight and he heard or witnessed it? Whatever the cause, try talking to him with love and see what is making him feel scared. And assure him with your words and lots of hugs and kisses that you are always going to be around him :)
