Customer Reviews

So helpful!

My son isn't in daycare, but started having dramatic anxiety when my husband would leave for work. After reading this book for 2 weeks, we now have the routine of 'Bye Bye Time' and it works really well. No more hysterical crying when he walks out the door!

Such a helpful book!

This book has been SO helpful when dropping our 2 year old son off at school. We used to tell him that Mommy and Daddy would always come back, but he would still cry hysterically every time we left. After giving him this book for Christmas, he has a better understanding of Bye Bye time...it's wonderful! Now, we follow the book and do a "squeeze, smooch" and say "See you later alligator. After a while crocodile" and there have not been any tears. He loves the book so much we usually read it twice. I just ordered 5 more books from this series as we are heading into the hitting phase...hopefully we will get the same amazing results from those books as we have from Bye Bye Time. I definitely recommend this book for anyone whose children has separation issues.
