But we have found that giving him lots of prior warning about where he was going, or who was coming, reminding him who they were with photos (if we had any) in between times really helped, and Skype too if that's an option.<br />Just some ideas anyway :-)<br />MegMeghan Maloney Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506040925450598933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8280782068170390656.post-70530539083671226722010-12-01T18:25:35.454+13:002010-12-01T18:25:35.454+13:00Thank you thank you cat for this comment.
