The crying and whining is normal for her age. She has to learn that no one can be with her all the time and that someone will come back. Make sure she has toys and a comfort bed or blanket to help As far as biting, she is young enough to teach what behavior is good. Whenever she bites stop playing her and tell her no. Ignore her until she settles down and try agin. If she continues then keep stopping until she makes the association. Make sure she has toys that are safe to chew on and bite. When she does wrong give something that is appropriate so she learns. Make sure you reward good behavior with treats and praise socit helps her understand
