Description
Sometimes JoJo cries.
“I want my mommy!”
Her mommy says,
“I see you’re sad.
I’ll miss you too,
but I’ll be back...
...right after you go to the park.
Even if it’s for a short amount of time, Mom and Dad reassure them not to worry because they will always come back. Includes a Note to Parents and Caregivers about helping toddlers with saying goodbye.
Written with simple language and reflective of children’s realities, the Terrific Toddlers series is based on understanding of the developmental level of young toddlers. Titles include All Mine!, Boo-Boo!, and Bye-Bye!.
From the Note to Parents and Caregivers:
Unfortunately, what to do during leave-taking is not at all obvious. In fact, it’s counterintuitive. We adults are conditioned to “soothe” by saying, “It’s OK. Don’t worry. It’s not a big deal.” But your departure is a big deal to your toddler, and saying it isn’t actually adds insult to injury. Anxious feelings don’t go away by avoiding them or distracting from them. While this approach may be more comfortable in the moment, it amounts to telling your toddler that these feelings aren’t authentic—which only adds your toddler’s feeling misunderstood to the good-bye experience!

I really like these books! They teach both parents and kids how to deal with hard situations. My son is going through a separation anxiety phase right now (He's 1) and this book was fun to read with him and helped ME make the process easier when I have to drop him off places. The pictures are simple and relatable, the tips for parents and caregivers in the back are an added bonus. This would be a great gift for grandparents or new parents!

Where was this book when my daughter was 2??? Nice little book of mommies and daddies going buy, most importantly, coming back to their littles! Small ones will appreciate this book. I'd like to think it will prepare them for the inevitable. I liked the illustrations of happy kids and parents hugging!

My last (for now, because I have no more) review in an excellent series for toddlers and their caregivers. This time, the toddlers don’t want their mom or dad to leave. In a sweet and repetitive way, this picture book reinforces that parents “always come back,” The adults in this simple read aloud acknowledge their child’s feelings and respond supportively. As is true for the other books in this series, the section for adults at the end of the book is excellent. Highly recommended for all who say byes to their young children.

A book from the Terrific Toddler Series and the American Psychological Association. A very cute and colorfully illustrated book on young children fears of parents leaving them for a short period of time to go to work or run an errand. It gives different examples of parents having to leave for a short period of time and having to say bye-bye but always returning. It is written in an age appropriate way in order for them to understand and have discussions with your child while reading. It also gives suggestions for parents at the end such as: Acknowledge their feelings; Keep calm; Give them a time frame; and Say I’ll return.
