YES! We had the same revelation with our toddler, who began to have terrible separation anxiety at 2.5 years old when his sister was born. We found the Daniel Tiger song, "Grownups Come Back", to be so helpful. We would play it on the way to daycare, and whenever we said goodbye, we would say, "Remember your song - grownups come back! We'll see you this afternoon!" It made such a big difference.
