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.

Nice book, easy to understand. Wish it had more ideas about saying good bye for children.....something more that could work for many families. It's very basic but my son loves this book and seems to be helping him with his separation anxiety.

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!

My 24-month old can't get enough of this book. She insists on reading it over and over. I wish I could say that saying "bye-bye" has been easier since we've been reading this book, but it hasn't had that effect yet. I'm hopeful that in a few months we'll have more success with this series (we also own "Hands Are Not for Hitting," "Feet Are Not for Kicking," and "Germs Are Not for Sharing," and my daughter loves them all). Definitely recommend.

I love this whole serious of books! We first ordered "Nap Time" when our toddler was having a difficult time with naps. It worked like a charm! Then a few months later we started having difficult drop offs at school in the morning. I jumped online to see if there were more books like "Nap Time" and found the whole series! We bought them all! I love this book about "Bye Bye Time"! I read it to my son several times and then started using the same routine in the book for our drop offs. Within a week things were much better!

I purchased this on a recommendation because my boy was having a hard time when I would drop him off at school. This book is very short, not very interesting for even a 3 year old, and doesn't really teach much. It is cute but didn't really help with my situation.
