Blue line

Ryan was a fabulous three-year-old.

Although he had tons and tons of fun at school, he still had separation anxiety when his parents initially dropped him off at his new school for the day.

To help with the morning routine and transition, Ryan’s parents were making a conscious effort to encourage the rules of the classroom inside their home, as well as some of the activities.

Ryan’s mom left him in his playroom for some creative play time while she went to get him a snack.

When she got back, there was a gigantic blue circle—practically the size of the entire room—drawn on the white carpet with a marker.

“Look mommy!” Ryan said excitedly. “It’s the blue line, just like the one at school! Now we can all sit down on it in a circle and talk!”

“With marker on your carpet, Resolve is your best bet,” she said. “You’ll also need a scrub brush. And maybe a little salt.”

Rebecca also said multiple applications may be needed.
