Sneaking out when your toddler is distracted might seem like the easy way out, but it's not helpful in the long run. It's much better to name the feelings 💜 your child is experiencing and help them build up their resilience by teaching them how to cope with separation anxiety.⁣ ⁣ ❌But unfortunately, while sneaking out may delay a scene, it tends to escalate meltdowns in the future. ⁣ ❌Sneaking out may cause anxiety and distrust—-which is not at all what you intended. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣Here’s how to use E.A.S.Y. to send your toddler off to kindergarten.

LINK IN BIO⁣ ⁣ DO THIS: ✔️ E. - EVALUATE⁣ Take a quick moment before saying a word to gain some composure. ⁣ ⁣ ✔️ A - ACKNOWLEDGE FEELINGS⁣ Name your child’s feelings and let them know it’s okay. ⁣ ⁣“Aww, sweetie, you’re sad mommy is going to work. That’s really hard. After Mommy says ‘goodbye’, take some deep breaths like we practised. And then go have some fun and play with your friends.”⁣ ⁣ ✔️ S- STICK TO YOUR BOUNDARIES⁣ Boundaries aren’t always about telling kids not to do things. Here, it’s about leaving with respect for your child’s experience but without long drawn-out goodbyes. GRANT A WISH⁣:⁣ “What book do you want to read when mommy gets home?” (AND DO THIS WHEN YOU GET HOME!)⁣ ⁣ ✔️ Y - YES. Find something your toddler can do that helps them move on. Which is the BYE-BYE RITUAL:⁣ Next comes your bye-bye ritual (kiss-hug-nose-rub) ⁣ ⁣ . . . and then it’s time to leave🚪. ⁣ ⁣ With a consistent goodbye routine, you build trust and make leaving easier down the road (way down the road, it won’t improve overnight)!⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #momlifestyle #ohheymamas ⁣#letthembelittle #ig_motherhood⁣ #firsttimemom #toddlertantrums ⁣#toddler ⁣ #toddlermomlife #toddlermom ⁣#pregnant ⁣#toddleractivities #toddlers ⁣ #toddlerhood #toddlersofinstagram ⁣#mumslife #mumsofinsta ⁣ #mumbloggers ⁣#toddlerlife ⁣#toddlers ⁣ #toddlerhood ⁣ ⁣#kids #mommyblog #fifteenmonthsold #18monthsold #15monthsold ⁣ #16monthsold #17monthsold #children⁣
