How old is your daughter? My son was the same before he reached 2.5 years old. He cried on almost everything such as strangers staring at him, people talking a bit loud, me going into the bathroom, etc. I can understand it's very stressful and tense, but it's just a stage. Some kids go through this stage quickly others take a bit more time. I believe this phase will pass as long as you give it time. Next time when she cries, just put your arms around her and let her cry it out. Pat her back to give comfort. I'm sure by physically hugging her, you give you strength, support and comfort and she'll stop crying sooner. When she calms down, talk to her. Tell her how to express her fear or what she wants when it next happens. Of course she won't get it overnight but the knowledge will gradually sink in. DON'T HIT HER. You'll regret and it's bad for both of you. If you really can't take it, hand her to someone you trust and go off to get some air. I did hit my son a few times and I really regret it. It has long lasting effect - both on his personality and his view on violence. Hang in there! You're not alone and remember, it'll pass.
There's a lot of courses for parents. I just joined a "3P" course in the Health Centre which is quite helpful but really need a lot of patience. Pls try.
