[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two things I always encourage parents to do that ease transitions: 1) don't talk about leaving until you are actually leaving (e.g., don't loudly announce "5more minutes!" Or say, "Mommy should really get to work soon...") 2) When you ARE ready to leave, say goodbye with a special routine that you ONLY use for separations (I like "see you later, alligator!") Over time, your kid will learn that the signal that Mommy is leaving isn't nanny's arrival, or Mommy sort of edging for the door, it is this special routine. I always say, kids will cry from the moment you indicate that you are going to leave until you are gone, so shorten that amount of time all you can, and the recovery will be shorter too![/quote] +1[/quote]
