Children can go through stages of being very wary of others. My 11m old mindee who started in September hates my dh.
Whenever he comes down for coffee she literally shakes and screams. He does his best to make her smile and only recently he came down the other day and she was ok.
She can sometimes whimper if one of the older boys is a bit too loud, but is getting better.
I would stick with it and have patience. It's probably a phase. Maybe keep them separate for a while, maybe put the little one in the high chair next to you while you prepare dinner, letting your child play and then maybe the other way round the next day for a couple of days so she's not screaming at the gate.
If she's an only child she's maybe not used to having others around, or maybe not used to someone who's boisterous maybe.
I would just keep at it and she will probably be ok within a few more days.
Time Out.. The perfect time for thinking about what you're going to destroy next.
