  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK560793/

  Separation anxiety disorder (SAD) is one of the most common childhood anxiety disorders. SAD is an exaggeration of otherwise developmentally typical anxiety manifested by excessive concern, worry, and even dread of the actual or anticipated separation from an attachment figure. […] Developmentally appropriate separation anxiety manifests between the ages of 6 to 12 months. This normative or physiological separation anxiety remains steadily observable until approximately age 3 and, under normal circumstances, diminishes afterward. More significant than expected duration or intensity of separation anxiety symptoms in children or the development of this disorder in older children, adolescents, or adults constitutes SAD. This disorder severely affects the quality of life and functioning across several areas, including school, work, social interactions, and close relationships. SAD is a gateway anxiety disorder that can lead to poor mental and physical health outcomes, including excessive worry, sleep disturbances, undue distress in social settings, poor academic performance, and somatic complaints.

  The average onset age is approximately 6 years, making it 1 of the earliest anxiety disorders to present in children. […] The transient re-appearance of separation anxiety when children first attend school is crucial in predicting the normal remission of separation anxiety versus the development of SAD. Physical separation for children from parents to participate in academic settings is the most common prompt for identifying SAD. School functioning is generally significantly impaired by SAD, as many children may demonstrate disruptive behaviors until reunited with their caregiver or refuse to attend school altogether. An estimated 75% of children suffering from SAD have school-refusal behaviors. […] Another common SAD symptom is the pervasive worry that harm come to the caregiver if separated, leading to severe distress and nightmares. Similarly, the child may worry about becoming lost, kidnapped, or having an accident if separated from their caregiver.
