My daughter is 27months old.Goes to playgoup since 1 month.Thou she is independent,plays by herself,she always sticks to me wherever i go-kitchen,bathroom,etc.When people r around the house, even then she needs to be with me(she will play by herself besides me).How do i make her not accompany me to the bathroom and everyplace I go.
These days she has become cranky,the minute I tell her not to do something she starts howling and would do more loudly if i ignore her.And if,i show love and make her understand she starts hitting me. *Sparkle* replied. Hi Charmi,
Its sounds hard and not right, but you need to be firm with your daughter. Hitting you is NOT in any way shape or form acceptable. She needs to learn this. Next time she does it, send her to her room for 10minutes. She then should apologize. Ask her why she does this.

Remember, even thought you have to be firm with her, ensure she feels safe and loved.

xx yr replied. i have a similar problem. my son is 2 yr 9mths old and he's also very much stuck to me. when i'm around my son does not go to anybody and does not let even my husband to even talk to him. he wants me to be with him all the time. does not even let me to go to the
toilet. in a way its nice to see that he's so attached but its worrying becoz he will not be able to get along with the other people. he's going to playhome and he enjoyed the 1st week when he started since i was around. when i stopped going with him since i'm working then he hates to go. but i think u should try to get a little harder at ur heart and let him to get to close to the others. once in a while when she comes to u, tell her u pls go and ask ur papa or grand parents. once in a while show ur anger so that she can go to somebody other than u to share her sadness... take her to parks and outside and see to that she mingles with other kids .. but i feel all kids at this age are very attached to the mothers. but gradually as they grow they get friends and will be ok.
