We all need encouragement! We are all in this together!!! :)
Some children are just very, very sensitive.
Having a sensitive nature doesn't necessarily mean that she will have to take meds for it. I have known people who had children that had similar issues and they simply out grew it.
Being 5 is a very "transitional" age, and this could just be a manifestation of seperation anxiety. As long as you accept it without anger and yet not draw much attention to the situation, it will likely pass. If parents get angry or give a lot of attention or energy to a "quirk" that a child displays - they sometimes hang on to it - almost subconsiously.
