Description

It’s hard to leave when you’re having fun.

This story is for that exact moment: the tough transition from fun to done. Hugo the Hippo knows the feeling well after a joyful morning at the park with his friends, when he’s just not quite ready to go. With the chance to pick one last thing to do, and the reminder that he’ll come back, Hugo takes a deep breath and heads home.

This episode helps toddlers and preschoolers:

  • Make goodbyes easier with a simple phrase they can repeat
  • Feel more in control by choosing one last thing before leaving
  • Handle big emotions like sadness or frustration when it’s time to go
  • Feel reassured that they’ll come back next time

Helpful for park days, playdates, and any time leaving is tough.
