My LG has recently become scared of children, when my best friend comes round with her little boy, she’s scared if he comes close to her and won’t come off me - this happened with my other friend and her little boy too! She’s the only child in our family but I try to mix her with other children as much as possible- we go to sensory and starting swimming lessons next week and potentially starting baby ballet.
Not sure if this is a phase? Any advice is appreciated! Just want her to have some confidence and she starts 1 day at nursery in September so want to help her as much as I can!

My LG has also started this recently - with both children and adults . She will hide if a person even looks in her direction and at soft play she will start to scream if another child
Comes near her 😅 she’s an only child but has always been around other children from a young age at baby classes and she started nursery at 9 months old so is very used to others . I’m hoping it’s just a phase xx

thank you! I’m glad I’m not the only one going through this! Fingers crossed it’s just a phase for both of us! 😂 xx
