What's the best way to deal with separation anxiety?

ECT2012

J has recently started getting very upset when I have to leave and/or when my husband tries to take her somewhere (like upstairs for a bath).

 What's the best way to deal with this? 

This evening as she went up to the bath she fussed/cried for a minute or two, while I sat downstairs and debated going up to make her feel better, but then my husband was able to make her laugh and forget about it.

Is that all right... to let her fuss a little bit and deal with it... or am I being cruel??

she will respond to your mood! just say "have fun with dada! love you!" and smile. make it quick and don't go back.

I usually play a long game of peek a boo increasing the amount of time I leave the room.
