Does Excess Child S Attachment Towards Mother Impact Psycho-social Development?

Hi I have a 7year old little girl she will be 8 in May and I think she has an unhealthy attachment to me {her mommy}. she won t sleep in her room without me and she won t use the bathroom in her own home without me or her Dad standing outside the door. she won t stay alone in any room of the house and if we are with her and happen to leave the room a min to go to the next room she screams in fear like something or someone is going to get her or hurt her. if we take her to her friend s Birthday party then she doesn t want to play with the other girls she only wants to sit with mommy or Daddy I just don t understand why she seems to be afraid of everything or afraid of us not being with her. can u please help me figure out what is going on with my little girl worried mom

Hello,

Thanks for writing.

I am Dr Aimen Nasir. I have read your question completely, i understand your concern and will try to help you in best way possible.

Kids sometimes do that.. They get attached to few people and never want to leave their sight.. It eventually goes away with time..
You just need to be patient.. and try to familiarize her to other people around like her friends.. Ask her to make friends and invite her friends to your place on a play date.. and donot over pamper her.. Let her trust more people.


I hope this answered your question, and
if you have more please feel free to ask.

Regards.
