How can i get my very clingy 16 month old to become more independant? i worry about taking her to daycare as she screams for hours when i leave her.

Be suportive: Don't view the clingy response as a failure on your part or a problem.Separation anxiety & stranger danger issues are common infants between 6m - 2yr. When they can grasp the fact that you don't drop off the earth when you leave, but remain in another space, they relax & become easier to manage.
