What can you do to make separation easier on your child?

• Ask the childminder to come at least fifteen minutes before you need to leave. This will ease the transition and give them a chance to get involved in an activity that will distract your child.
• Always say goodbye but keep it brief. It may seem easier to just disappear but it will be very distressing to your child when he/she realises that you have left. He will feel as if you’ve abandoned him and will make it difficult for him to trust you.
• Comfort your child if he is distressed. Explain that you will return and tell him that you love him.
