Desperately need advice

I have a just turned 2 year old and over the last month, whenever we go out to basic places like tesco, or random shops etc. she will look at certain people and cry inconsolably, to the point she wont calm down. Clings to me for dear life as if that person is going to attack her or something. I have to leave immediately, it’s now happening around family members, to the point I’m so scared to take her anywhere because I don’t know how she will react. Has anyone been through this before? My anxiety is off the roof and I feel we can’t experience fun or even basic things in our day to day life. Just to add, she goes nursery and is mostly fine and happy there, she’s fine with babies and young kids it’s mainly older people

OMG that sad I can imagine. Does she go to nursery? If I may ask please

@Nomfundo so heartbreaking, yes she does and she’s fine there

It is very heartbreaking I can imagine as mom myself I am trying to think what could it be as I work with kids myself. Does she watch tv a lot if so what cartoons or movies she watches if you don’t mind me asking.

@Nomfundo I really can’t put my finger on what’s triggered it. She hardly watches tv, but when she does it’s only ms Rachel or blippi

My daughter who is 2 is very very shy. Always wants to be picked up and won’t let go off me whenever we out in public. If anyone looks at her she barely knows or don’t know she will come crying and climbing me scared. Or she run off and hide. I get nervous taking her out on my own a lot due to this. She does to child minder 2 days a week when it term time. And it is over stimulating for me. X

@Tara it’s so tough isn’t it. I really hope it’s a phase

So do I. My mum said it is a phase and said I was very shy at a young age. But we will see x

Not sure about the strangers but for the family maybe a family photo board alot of my husbands family live a fair while away and some of mine so I would constantly show photos especially when we would be getting close to seeing them so my kids was familiar with there faces when they saw them in person made it easier for us but husbands niece was very much like that upset took ages to warm up to the family lasted till she was 3 and half ish

Awwn! Poor baby, I wonder what terrifies her. They have different stages and I believe she would outgrow it. God bless her…
