Before the moment

Keep the ritual simple and repeatable. Have a calm backup line ready for a night the visit is forgotten.

Through their stage

Use short pretend play and a concrete sequence. Offer two safe choices and accept that feelings may change on the day.

Say this

Her flight path must have been fogged in. Let us leave her a landing note tonight.

Avoid this

You must have done something wrong.

Why this approach

A light, playful repair keeps trust and the fun without blame.

In the moment

  • Keep the reward small and consistent.
  • Make the ritual about the milestone, not the reward.
  • Answer questions honestly when they ask directly.
