DD has started to become very wary when other toddlers approach her and it takes very little (another child touching her arm for example) for her to become hysterically upset.
I'm a sahm, but I make sure she has a lot of contact with other children - at playgroup, gymbaroo, going to the park, inviting friends with children round etc. My instinct is to get her involved as much as possible to 'desensitise' her, but am not sure if this could actually have the reverse effect.
I realise this is probably just a developmental phase, but she seems to be the only toddler I know who is like this. Has anyone else experienced this and how did you handle it?
