Hi everyone,
I have a 2.5yr old girl (only child and I am single parent).
She is very happy bubbly girl good speech and hitting all developmental milestones but over last month seems to have developed ‘stranger anxiety’.
When we are out and meet up with friends or family or they come to house she will stop playing, get very upset and cling to me. She won’t let me put her down. Cries for cuddles and buries her head into me and won’t look around room. If we’re out asks to go home even if at park which she loves and have only been there 10mins. People we have met are people she has previously been comfortable with but now isn’t. She does calm down eventually and resume playing but can take anywhere from 30mins to 1hour. Is this normal? Advice I’ve read says she will grow out of it? How can I help her?
Thanks in advance
