[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1 is pretty young for any special techniques, but have you tried gradually increasing the amount of time you step away from her - so play on the floor for 5-10 minutes and then step away with the baby for 30 seconds? When you come back, make a big celebratory deal out of how she is playing all by herself etc. etc. and join her again. Next time, step away for a little longer. If she starts whining remind her (without coming back to her) that she's waiting patiently for you and playing with her XYZ and you'll be right back. My 11 month old charge whines like crazy if I walk away too, but if I continue talking to him he's all right - even if he can't see me.

Good luck![/quote]

Thx for the advice. I do this everday and it fails horribly lol, she crawls after me screaming. Just hearing my voice or seeing me doesn't calm her, she needs to me in my arms. She screams, screams louder, I pick her up and she stops immediately. What's funny is she doesn't do this when we are out. She wants nothing to do with me when we go to museums, parks, playground etc. [/quote]
