Approbation is a formal word for approval or praise. Approbation is like getting the nod in a big way. Politicians rely on the publicâs approbation to get elected. How is it possible that approbation means approval when probation is a form of being in trouble? Probation is a testing period, to see if you can be good. Approbation means it's all good. Or you can remember this rhyme: Filled with approbation, the audience gave a standing ovation.
Discomfort from separations in children from ages 8 to 14 months is normal. Children oftentimes get nervous or afraid of unfamiliar people and places but if the behavior still occurs after the age of 6 and if it lasts longer than four weeks, the child might have Separation Anxiety Disorder.
Fussing and crying are the classic signs of separation anxiety. Screaming and tantrums are possible, too. During the day, your child may refuse to leave your side. During the night, he or she may wake up and cry out for you. Between ages 8 and 12 months, children often experience a period of separation anxiety. It usually peaks between ages 10 and 18 months. Most children outgrow separation anxiety by age 24 months. In some children, separation anxiety is a sign of a more serious condition known as separation anxiety disorder.
