[quote=Anonymous]Follow big.little.feelings on Instagram. Actual helpful tips. One is using the timer on your phone. Explain to your child you need to leave the park, would they like to set a timer for two minutes? We will leave when the timer is done. Then you let them press the start button on the timer and stop the timer when it stops. It works miraculously well at this age. And it’s continued to work with our son, I’m honestly surprised it still does after months of it but we use it for a lot of transitions now if it’s a hard one for him and he continues to really like the control the timer seems to help him feel. The key is you have to confidently hold the boundary if they ever don’t leave with the timer and swiftly pick them up and go. This happen rarely because it honestly works so well but if he starts to hesitate I hold the boundary quickly “sweetie we set the timer and it has gone off so it’s time to get in the car I’m going to pick you up and take you” and I do it immediately. But even then what would normally be a drop down drag out fight without the timer usually he lets me just pick him up. Again, big little feelings on Instagram. Truly helpful for toddler things and I think most kid parent instagrams are... not that helpful.[/quote]
