Hi, my 2 year old daughter has suddenly seemed to develop a fear of people she doesn't know. The problem isn't with one person, it usually is when a group of people appear that she doesn't know. I know it's probably a bit intimidating for a little one to be in that situation, and it's probably nothing to worry about. But I'm just curious if anyone else experienced this with their child and if it went away naturally or if it is indicative of some type of "problem", for lack of a much better word. thanks.

I think this is actually very common. Almost standard issue...
Thanks, very helpful. Now I know what to do when she sees a crowd and says "oh no, peoples"...hee hee.
