Wondering if anyone has a magic solution... 3.5 yo dd is terrible at leaving a place eg. Will have a lovely time at a friend's house/ play session but absolutely go into one when told it is time to leave. I have tried pre-warning (both giving her 10 mins, 5 mins countdowns, last play etc) which she takes fine but when in comes to the crunch- getting shoes and coat on- she starts crying, tries to runn off etc.
I have also tried warning before going to the activity eg. Remember that when it's time to go, we put our shows on nicely etc. No real improvements.
Has anyone got any good distraction techniques/ bribery I could use to make it less painful?
