A 6 year old girl who keeps crying

[Pulmicort]

I have a 6 year old sister. Whenever my mum isn't anywhere near her or sometimes out of her sight, she would start crying non-stop. This has been a problem for my mum as sometimes she needs to head out for work in the morning while my sister is sleeping. Not only that. Everyday after my mum drop her off in school and when she needs to leave for work, my sis starts crying. She would say things like, "I want mummy!" and "I like mummy!". Is there anything we can do to help as we are worried that all these might affect her development.

It would be better if your Mom said Bye to her and not just disappear to work as it could be making her Anxious,if she crys on the days your Mom drops her off at school thats okay as within a short time she will be paying and have forgotten she was sad, ask Mom to read and play with her a lot sometimes some extra care and attention is all that is needed.
