Mama Travels for Work

Provides a great tip to help children know how long until his or her loved one will return

I travel for work every couple of months and this book was a nice tool to talk it through with our daughter. She had some anxiety the last time I was away so I wanted to try and reassure her. I made 'love you loops' for her which I think helped her through the week (and now when she sees paper chains, she says 'Look! I love you loops!') Overall, I think it's a good book and activity for ~2-5 year olds.

My daughter liked the book and it is sweet. Unfortunately, the love loops with the associated "gifts" each night got me in trouble as I had to find lots of gifts to leave for my 11 nights away. My husband said the nightly gifts made her miss me more (but maybe he was projecting)
