Directions:
Discuss how your child feels when she has to say good-bye to someone, for example, when you leave for work in the morning, or when she has to say good-bye to her friends at school at the end of the school day.
Invite your child to work together with you to create a fun way to say good-bye. For example, you might create your own good-bye song, such as "Good-bye, good-bye, it's time to say good-bye, I'll blow a kiss and make a wish and then we'll say good-bye." Or you might create a special, secret good-bye handshake.
When your child has trouble saying good-bye, remind her of the special good-bye that you worked on. Encourage her to teach it to the other person, so they know how to do the special good-bye song or handshake, too.
