I thought separation anxiety but not sure. HELP!!!!!

Probably a habit. My dd has odd things such as that. I'm a SAHM as well and she is 17 months. I'm guessing there's a cause and effect or she wouldn't be motivated to do it. Do yoy pick her up, talk to her etc when she does this? My dd does this in the kitchen allll the time. Bcuz I'm usually making her somethin to eat, so she correlates the two. But I try not to react when she fusses like that. I'll wait until she's through, THEN I'll pick her up. Just don't make a big deal of it (difficult as it is)

It is a phase. Little ones will go though a clingy phase a few times. She is probably okay at the gym because it is something familiar that she has done before. This too shall pass. 

I really think it's a phase more than a habit.. My 15 month old son is exactly the same, and he's cutting molars, maybe she is teething? or just pure cuddly! Either way, enjoy it!!! It'll pass in time :)

pls stop doing it. he wont change. he will just turn into my two yr old. when the kid grabs your hand or clings, tell her youre busy and will get to her soon. then in 30sec or so go with her. dont let her drag you around.

My son is 19 months old and exactly the same way. I've found that I have to work with his schedule instead of trying to make him work to mine. When he's clinging I put my things down and play with him or cuddle him or whatever. Once he's interested in somehing I go back to what I was doing. It might only last for a few minutes but oh well. I know he's needing that attention and its incredibly important to me that he knows that he is important. He's just not old enough to wait a minute and since I'm all he's got I have to be who he's got all the time.

I absolutely won't stop. "He won't change"?? And what is so wrong with what he's doing? What is so terrible about my child wanting to share the world with me? Unfortunately you are wrong and he will change. I'm giving him what he needs right now. Let me be clear that there is nothing wrongb with his behavior. It is completely appropriate for his age. I also know how to discipline my child for things he shouldnt bev doing like biting and throwing and having a tantrum when hebis told no. But wanting me and my attention and care is not bad behavior!

Be happy for her. I don't like it when kids are clingy.

 She'll either out grow it, or become a permanent growth on your leg. =)

My son is 18 and he does the same.he would even go on a long pony ride along a track wher he doesn't see me and he's cool with that but at home I can't even use the bathroom

 because she has associated you with being home with her and holding, loving, and always with her

She'll probably get over it.  She might be a little "bored".  I don't mean that the way an adult or older child gets bored.  It might be helpful to put out one small set of toys in each room (especially where you need to work); and change them around sometimes.  I would keep one to two sets put away, so that they seem "new" to her when you put them out.
