My son loves the slides in play areas. Whenver its time to leave he will have a full on meltdown. What do other parents/carers do to reduce this?
Hi,
I used the '10 more go's' with my son when he was little as he had no concept of 5 more minutes. Counting down was a way to get him to do anything! eg Let's see if we can get you dressed in 30.. Tidy up in 20.. Worked a treat.
You could always use visual countdowns on number cards if he responds better to visual prompts.
Good luck
Thank you, my Son would be better with the ten more slides approach as he doesn’t have any concept of time.
