Go to grandmother
Different smells in the hallway, different mugs in the cupboard, maybe a hug that lasts longer than agreed. The pictures below prepare the child for what is coming.

About this visual support
A visit to grandma is more than a car ride. It is stepping into a system of rules you did not write yourself: when food appears, where coats hang, how long you look at adults while they talk. For a child who visits rarely, the love can be big while the code stays unknown.
Go through the pictures together before leaving: the hallway, the living room, the toy corner if there is one, the dining spot, the sleeping spot if you are staying over. Show the hello-hug picture too and explain that the hug can be short. Then the child knows the hug has a fixed length and can let go, which makes the hug actually land.
A concrete tip: ask grandma in advance for one predictable thing — the same biscuit on the plate, the same chair at the table. A single repeating detail becomes an anchor among all the different impressions. In Routined you can save the visit as a reusable sequence so the next time is calmer still. Try it free for 14 days.
