We went to the park yesterday, and had so much fun! But sometimes it’s tough when we have to go back home. 😔
To make it easier to leave, I gave him a time warning like, “In 5 mins it’s time to go home!”
But sometimes, it’s still a bummer, and he gets upset.
When he gets upset about leaving, I remind him that we had a great time, but it’s time to go home now, and he needs to be nice and respectful about it. I set firm boundaries that he won’t be kicking and screaming when he has to do something he doesn’t like or that he doesn’t want to do.
He can be sad about it, but he has to keep his behavior in check 💙
