.: My Toddler ~ 12-month-old: Week 2 :.

Based on babycenter.com,

If your child gets upset when you leave her now, she's right on schedule. Twelve to 18 months is prime time for separation anxiety — a psychological term that means your toddler can't bear to be without you. The best way to handle painful farewells is to keep them short and sweet: Say goodbye with a quick kiss and head out the door. Your toddler's tears will subside soon after you're out of sight. It's hard not to feel guilty, but in the long run you'll help your child become more independent.


Welcome to Toddlerhood
No longer the adoring infant, your child is about to enter a whole new phase in which she gains some independence and even starts defying you. Here's what to expect:
• Why toddlers want to hear
the same stories again and again• "I can do it!" When she'll want to hold her own cup, dress herself, and more• How to react when "no" becomes her favorite word• Have a potty seat in your bathroom long before your toddler is ready, to give her time to get used to the idea.
