My 3.5 year old daughter was very happy and social saying “hello” to everyone we pass. We travelled to Italy last month to visit my in laws. After settling in and the excitement of an aeroplane the next day her grandma grandpa and 2 aunties were so excited to take her to the local playground and we get some rest with the new baby. I asked her if she wanted to go (we regularly FaceTime and visit every summer) she said yes. So all 4 of them went out. But this was clearly a bad decision on my part. It was 39° she was hungry tired and they don’t speak English. My sister in law sent pics of her on the slide and chasing pigeons, after the playground they went to the supermarket (so they were out little longer than I hoped) I said to my husband I think she will tired now and maybe needs some rest / milk so he called, they said she’s good and on their way home. She came home very hot very upset very confused. I genuinely think now she thought she would never see us again. The holiday was a total disaster. She began to freak out crying red faced stressed anxiety if anyone tried to play or talk to her or if I wasn’t in her sight. This got worse with every outing, any friend or neighbour that wanted to stop for a chat she starts going red, dragging me away, saying mummy mummy then shouting GO HOME GO HOME then bursts into tears. We spent 2 weeks avoiding everyone. Now we are home back in our routine, thankfully she’s happy in nursery and with immediate family. But the park, supermarket, neighbours anyone even looks at her she has a complete shutdown. If we go to the park, she has fun on the slide and she wants to go up again, but a parent with a child is there (a stranger) and it’s immediately no no no fear, panic, anxiety l, shouting tantrum then ends in sobbing tears. My friend and her husband who she doesn’t know came over for a coffee and she went nuts freaking out. I don’t know how to navigate it we can’t go anywhere it’s so so so stressful especially with the baby who needs attention. Please any advise
