It's a phase.

Have you tried talking to her from wherever you are so she can still know you are kicking about and haven't left.

The other thing to try is to turn it into a game. Leave the room then pop your head back, but leave it longer each time. So, start with a few seconds then build it up to a minute and see how she takes it.

It is one thing I am not looking forward to!!

sounds like separation anxiety and yep it's a phase. unfortunately it was a phase that lasted for several months with Hannah
