Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of separation anxiety: it is the distress an infant feels when separated from their primary caregiver.
Recognize that separation anxiety typically emerges when infants realize that the caregiver exists even when out of sight.
Identify the developmental milestone that reflects this understanding: Object permanence, which is the awareness that objects and people continue to exist even when they cannot be seen.
Compare the other options: Stranger wariness is related but occurs after object permanence; babbling and fine motor coordination are unrelated to separation anxiety.
Conclude that object permanence must be reached before an infant typically begins to experience separation anxiety.
