DD is 4 and has suddenly started being ridiculously clingy all the time, she's always been very independent til now but the last few weeks she has barely left me alone, like constantly sitting on my lap, holding my hand, won't even let me go to the loo on my own and has cried every night when I've left her room after the bedtime story because she wants me to sleep with her. She's also started sucking her thumb, talking like a baby constantly, refusing to do anything for herself and crying over everything.
We have had to move into emergency housing in a town where we don't know anyone and her dog and pet newts have had to go to stay with my parents til we find somewhere to live and she's had a taster day for school last week and has just started to understand that after they break up on Tuesday she won't be going back to playschool next year (we've been getting the bus back for playschool each day) so I know that its probably because thats a lot of change all at once for a 4 year old and she is probably feeling insecure and she's said she doesn't want to be too big for playschool, even though she loved her taster day at school.
Should I just fuss over her for now and hope she settles down? or am i doing her more harm than good if i let her be this clingy?
Any ideas how to make her feel better about everything?
