Puppy becoming too attached to one person

Our 14 week old doodle, Lani, is becoming too attached to me. Any ideas on how to nip this in the bud? There are 4 in our family and I want her to bond with everyone. Our kids are 16 and 14. We have had her for 6 weeks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just a thought, I read somewhere, that when they are that young it's good they attach and learn who the leader in the family is. I suppose they attach to the one whose around them most. After the dog is gone through some training the leader can teach other family members the commands but I think it's important for a dog to have a leader in his pack. Just some thoughts on a rainy Monday morning. Enjoy. They are such a wonderful breed!

Thanks for the info. I was afraid we were going to end up with a dog like my sister's. Bailey is a beautiful and sweet lab but is nerotic when my sister leaves her. It's like she is lost with out her. I want Lani to bond with everyone!
