[quote=Anonymous]I'm a mom and we have this dynamic also. It's tough to manage. I'd suggest talking w/ the mother and telling her how much her presence creates a challenge for the boy - he's torn between the two of you and doesn't know how to manage that. Suggest some solutions to her (like a goodbye/separation ritual you both adhere to, or a "come only if you hear me say 'maybe Mommy will come help' or things like that...) Let her know that you'd like to try to work on making transitions easier for him (and that this is a really common dynamic) and then suggest a few ideas and see if she's comfortable with any of them, or has any ideas of her own.[/quote]
