It’s developmental. And honestly will happen when she is ready. I went through this with my now 4yo. He did not trust anyone and I could not leave him with anybody until he was ready. He finally became comfortable with close friends, we would always play and hangout at their house. He trusted the children and parents so he was comfortable.
And similar happened with another set of friends.
I don’t leave with my son with strangers, only people he has built a relationship with and trusts.
Haha. It only takes about 15 yrs for them to grow out of it. Good luck.
I would recommend a Mother’s Day Out program Most are church ran by volunteers attending child development courses 2-4 hrs twice a week. It’s also a great opportunity to socialize them with other kids
It would have been easier to break her of this about a year ago. It is going to be a very tough transition when she goes to daycare most likely. You might try doing some phasing in. Like maybe leave her with people for a few hours at a time if you can.
