Help!
I thought we had gotten over the separation anxiety, but it has come back worse than ever before. What do I do to help my little girl, her twins' brother, okay its just my little girl. Hate leaving her when she upset about the fact I am leaving even when I am just going to kitchen for a drink it's not good she screams and gets herself. So upset she is hyperventilating.
Any advice

Love the comment from florence. I'm in the same boat, the clinginess is next level and hear "mammy" followed by crying atleast 5000x day.

Awww...bless her I totally understand your situation. I'm an early years practitioner and I've seen this in children. This phase is totally part of their development and it's common between children ages 6months to 3 years. Few of the things I can suggest you do with her whilst you're together, probably read her stories that can help reassure her you'll be back, e.g "owl babies" story book is a lovely book that illustrates that... You can let her know what you want to do before hand, e.g, mummy is thirsty and needs a glass of water, I'll go to the kitchen to get a glass of water and will be back in one minute, then when I come back we can read this story(or whatever you plan doing or continuing doing with her) assuring her that you'll be back, may possibly reduced her anxiety Or you can tell her to help you hold something while you quickly get something you need... hopefully you'll both get through this phase soon...can be exhausting! I have a toddler too and I can relate.
