[QUOTE="Andy, post: 226776, member: 5096"] I don't know! Hmmm how much notice is best for her? She needs time to process it but not too much. Maybe start by teaching her how you will get to and from work. Once she is comfortable with how you will be traveling, let her know where she will be while you travel - who will be watching her. Maybe talk about things that she will be doing while you are at work and she is not at school. A special activity set aside just for those times? Each day she can create a picture story of her day? An art project to work on? ect. Then once she is comfortable with where you will be and what she will be doing, then break the news of the the length of time before you get home after school. Each day talk about only one thing (maybe review the previous days topics) so that she has time to process. So, start soon? Good luck! [/QUOTE]
