We are having the SAME problem with DD8. She has ADHD (on Biphentin) and anxiety and crippling perfectionism, as well. She clings to me and begs me to stay home from work (I work shift work, so I really do spend a lot of time at home). On her past few sleepovers she seriously considered coming home at bedtime because she would miss me too much. During the day she wants to cuddle with me as much as possible.
In our case, I can't find a reason. Her perfectionism/anxiety at school is actually improved quite a bit this school year. She tells me that she just needs more 'Mama Love' than other kids because she loves me more than other kids love their moms. I'm hoping things will settle down as the school year progresses. We are in the process of selling our house and house hunting. I have a suspicion that this is bothering her more than she is letting on.
