Normal Development: Separation anxiety peaks around age 2, so your daughter is in the normal developmental range. Continue to have regular opportunities to have your daughter engage with various safe family and friends. Punishment and forcing is not necessary as she will outgrow this in 6-8 months. Reassure her of your love and care, and look for ways to connect with reading, playtime, etc.
