A successful way to deal with 2 tantrum toddlers who don't want to leave the playground?


The playground is right out of the playschool exit.
The parking lot is far from the entrance, so I can't take one to the car and then go for the other one.
We are not planning to move them to another school.
The playschool is for them to learn to socialize and share, so taking them out is not an option.
Yes, I have tried to make them understand we will go back the day after, but doesn't work!

Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I have a 2 year old who doesn't like to leave the playground either. I usually give her a five minute warning, before we are about to leave, rather than abruptly tell her we need to leave now. All else fails, I slip a small piece of candy in my pocket and tell her she can have it when we get in the car. Works all the time.
Kids don't need socialization at that age--they need mom and dad! What's the difference between socializing them now in preschool or next year in kindergarten? Preschool is a glorified daycare. As for the park thing--be the parent and just grab them both and put them in the car.
