MY 4 y/o daughter follows me EVERYWHERE I go in the house. I cannot even go to the bathroom in pruvate. I lock my bedroom door so I can go but she'll bang on the door until I come out. How can I stop this?

Start punishing her for it. Especially the beating on the door. You cant let them get away with acting like that, or they will think they can get away with it everywhere, including school. Put her in the corner and make her stay there for a certain amount of time. Or take away one of her toys next time she does it. There has to be rules.

punishment leads to resentment or revenge amongst other things... remember, she is 4. the part of the brain known as the prefrontal cortex is not yet fully developed at this age

**The most typical psychological term for functions carried out by the prefrontal cortex area is executive function. Executive function relates to abilities to differentiate among conflicting thoughts, determine good and bad, better and best, same and different, future consequences of current activities, working toward a defined goal, prediction of outcomes, expectation based on actions, and social "control" (the ability to suppress urges that, if not suppressed, could lead to socially-unacceptable outcomes)-en.wikipedia.org**

there are other ways to help them understand things
