[quote=egiller]My daughter also has difficulty when I travel. After a tough time this fall during/after a trip, our school OT recommended I draw out my plan (though my daughter can read and is highly verbal). Basically, draw the plane/train/automobile that you will take. Make an agenda for him to view. Review it with him. Have your husband/school/nanny, whomever, review it with him. A fun visual schedule. Make a small one for each day you are gone - and the date when you fly/drive/bus home. For some reason, this helps some kids feel comforting and better comprehend (rather than feeling hurt or sad at the gut level that mom isn't home). [/quote]
