Separation anxiety

My almost 3 year old is getting so upset anytime I go anywhere. In a different room of our house, to work, if we go to the grocery store I have to hold her hand while she gets pushed in the cart, she needs me to hold her foot while I'm driving. Anyone have any ideas on how to help with relieving her stress? I never had my eldest react this way and I don't know what to do. I reassure her I try all kinds of things but it doesn't seem to help.

I'm praying for you. Have you talked to your child's doctor. Also I don't know if you have heard of Warmies. It is a teddy bear with aromatherapy that you put in the microwave. I use one every night for calming.

It was brought up previously and it was said that she would outgrow it but I am thinking we may need to reapproach it since it seems to be getting worse.
