Good strategy: This can be a normal phase that is caused by anxiety. Try taking your daughter into public restrooms even if she doesn't have to go and see if she reacts the same way. Doing this a few times every here and there may help her overcome her anxiety and fear of public restrooms. Also, your daughter may feel uncomfortable or vulnerable/ exposed since she doesn't know the other children that well.

Combination : Of new place causing fear and possibly a bit of attention seeking? Don't worry she is young and it should pass. It is very common behavior

My daughter was bitten by an insect. I think it was a spider at home yesterday. She had a few bites on her hand. She has developed hives and it seems to be getting worse with time. I had only given her cetirizine and applied baking soda and aloe vera?
