Bye -Bye Time (Boardbook)

Good-bye isn't forever. It's for a little while. “Bye-Bye” means hugs, kisses, big waves, deep breaths . . . and time for play. Then, before long, it’s time to say “HELLO!” Being dropped off at childcare or cared for by a baby-sitter means saying good-bye to Mom or Dad—and for many toddlers, bye-bye is a big deal. This gentle book helps ease the transition and avoid separation anxiety with simple rituals: hugs and kisses, a big wave, a deep breath, and the confidence to seek comfort with the new caregiver or other children. An award-winning author/illustrator team offers a fresh look at the times and transitions all toddlers face daily, giving young children the tools to handle routines with confidence and cooperation. Part of the Toddler Tools® series, Bye-Bye Time can be shared before (or during) the desired “time,” or whenever toddlers need encouragement with routines. “This is a book that I am going to recommend to all of my new parents, and to those whose children are still having difficulty with good-byes.” —Andrea Coventry, Montessori Educator
