At 1.5y, diversion has started to loose its power when having to stop playing or having to leave toys. Luckily I found out that “saying goodbye” is extremely effective. It gives the kid an understanding of what is happening (we are leaving) and a moment to process the loss. So now every time we go home from the playground we say goodbye, even if there are no other people around.

@Servais@discuss.tchncs.de, not that I don't appreciate these posts, mostly just curious, but why do you continue to make regular posts if you do not have children?
