    At 1.5y, diversion has started to loose its power when having to stop playing or having to leave toys. Luckily I found out that “saying goodbye” is extremely effective. It gives the kid an understanding of what is happening (we are leaving) and a moment to process the loss. So now every time we go home from the playground we say goodbye, even if there are no other people around.

      Simple answer: because if I don’t, who will?

      Also, I’m planning to have children at some point in the future, so always interesting to have a few pointers ahead
