3 yr old bedtime tantrums.. help never had this before

[helsi]

My almost 3 yr old dd has over the last few nights started to become hysterical when I leave her to go to sleep. She has always been such a good sleeper and until a few nights ago she used to go down wide awake with no crying or anything. She has now begun this hysteria saying she doesn't want me to leave her and its wearing me down. I don't want to get to the stage of her sleeping with me and/or her only going to sleep with me in her room. what can I do?

anyone?

i kinda had this proble m with my dd, shes just 3 too, and i reallyignored it , let her stay up and kept saying to her ,are u ready for bed now, the tv was off and i was busy doing work - netting it!!- and eventually we got over it - maybe a week or so
