Attachment issues

Posted September 8, 2020 - 1:28pm

My daughter is 20 months old and is so so attached to me that when she's around anyone else she screams and throws tantrums if someone else tries to hold her and she always reaches back to me. Is there a way to get her to be with other people, let them hold her or ways to make her not so attached to me? Is this normal, is this a phase that every kid goes through and eventually passes?

Hello! I am familiar with it. Closeness to the mother is important for children, but if you can't leave the child for a minute, it already seems to be a problem. Over time, children calm down and get used to other adults. How old is your child? Most likely, it will pass with age.
