And I used to laugh ahead while my one mom, who'd always say, okay, so he cries when I drop him off, and then he cries when I pick him up. What are you doing? Joke about it and laugh about it. And I'd say, yep, the good news is that he's attached to you and he's also attached to us. Yeah. So he has good relationships in both places, and that means it's hard to say goodbye both times. So again, communicating that with families, just because their child is reluctant to leave does not mean they don't love their parents. That has nothing to that is not why they're upset. And so helping parents recognize that is always important, and sort of humor helps when you can have it so. But I think the same thing only we have to think of our this time. It's it's ourselves as early childhood educators, we have to think about the before the goodbye, and what we're doing in the before the goodbye. And the parent isn't thinking about it. We are the caregivers and thinking about it at home, we are thinking about it. So, you know, are there predictable things we can do when we know parent is coming, or they have a usual arrival time, so we do certain activities, or we always get something out, or we give them a little, oh, talking about it is always important, you know, I know so and so's coming in about five minutes. Time doesn't matter to an infant or toddler, but just saying that same thing every time, or I know you've been missing mommy and she's coming through the door, you know, anything to sort of give them an advance warning that there's going to be this change and again, routines and rituals. If you can build in a routine thing, you say a routine thing they're doing during that time? Is it a time where you all gather and listen to stories again, so everybody's more cozy and kind of settling down for the day, so they're not at the high energy level that they don't want to be interrupted, not, not always avoidable, right? But, but even then letting them know, going over and saying, hey, just heads up. You know, I know mom's going to be coming to that toddler. Infants, it's a little easier because you you know, kind of be picking them up and telling them, or you can go over and let them know this is going to happen. But toddlers, you know, might be engaged in something, so letting them know, and they'll hear you, and then frequent communication and positive signals about how the day went. About, oh, you're gonna, it's gonna be great to see mom. It's gonna be great to see dad. You can tell them all about, you know, mention something they did today, or that you had fun with your friend, or whatever. For the toddlers, sort of even mentioning something about the day, of course. Of preschoolers, that's a dream is, you know, to kind of have them, you know, you sharing with the parent, and they can really follow it. But even a toddler just reminding them that they can kind of greet their parent and share something, or Mommy's going to be so happy to see you. It's going to be nice to go home all those things, giving, giving, lots of positive signals. And again, parents are exhausted when they get there, exactly there's, you know. And so if you can have some calming activities, maybe of calming music on at the end of the day every like settling children down as much as possible for that goodbye, so you're not handing them over where their their energy level is high, and they're not ready to go sit on go to get on the bus or sit in a car, but you've kind of set the stage for, okay, we're going to go through transition now, and there's going to be a time where we're going to kind of say say goodbye to teacher instead, or say goodbye to our provider, and you have a Goodbye routine with them, maybe every day as well. What you say, what you do again, that goodbye routine now you're thinking about you and how do you and helping parents. This is not where they have to think about a ritual so much, but helping them through the goodbye if you know that you've got a mom, I remember I had a mom who had to travel an hour and a half on the bus to get there. I didn't prolong my goodbyes with her. My goal was to help her get out the door and go get home and we could communicate another time. So we're really there to support that again, that relationship on departure, and if we have to communicate important information, now might be the time that we have to do it, but if we can call them or follow up later, that might be a better time if we're thinking that's going to stress the goodbye out for the child and parent. So thinking about those kinds of things as well, you know, and conveying, here's something that went well today, and here, if there is something they need to know, you know, maybe not urgent or bad, but just hey, by the way, they wern't very hungry at lunch, just a heads up for their evening. Those kinds of things. So they have a little bit of the story of the day for themselves, because a toddler and an infant can't tell them that story. But keeping in mind, you're helping them get together again and go home.
