Answer 1

First, it's okay. There are ways to change this.
My three year old used to be similar to this when he was 2.

The way that worked for me is that any action that was over the top for no reason would be a reason for time out.
This is an example of the conversation:
Child, "I WANT MY MILK!!!!"
Me, "Son, is this an acceptable way to act?"
Child, continues to fuss and whine.
Me, "Okay, well now you need to go to time out. Freak outs are not allowed."
Child, goes to timeout. Then once time frame is up, is required to come back to me and explain why they were in time out.
Then I hug him, tell him I forgive him and love him very much.

After about two weeks of consistent punishment for these actions, they were 90% gone. A great improvement in a short time.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

sounds to me like she is very insecure when it comes to your relationship. Did she ever feel left alone maybe (hospital, daycare, new sitter)? Try reassuring her that you love her and that you will be there for her. Make positive experiences with her like leave her with a person that she knows (your mom, good friend) and walk back into the room a few minutes later that way she knows you are coming back. Tell her you are proud she was such a big girl and didn't cry. Play hide and go seek with her but pick easy spots where she can find you quickly. Snuggle her and kiss her tummy when you change her diaper that way she doesn't feel like she did something bad. Do not try to potty train her unless she wants to and shows she is ready otherwise she will feel guilty and like she disappointed you if it doesn't work. Try spending time with her on outdoor activities where it is ok for her to run away for a little but can always see you (like a playground). Just keep showing her that you love her and that you won't leave her.

Answer 3

Some kids just cry all the time. I know some adults who cry all the time to. I wouldn' t worry about it to much it could be worse.

Answer 4

she might be ready to potty train. try to ignore the crying. don't react to it at all, in fact don't even look at her when she cries. look at her and smile when she's not crying. she's using the wrong behaviors to get attention.
