S/O repetition

So since you guys do some repetition stuff what happens when you put a stop and say "all done"?
We have tried multiple things... Countdown to the end, distraction with different activity, change of environment but we have the same result.... Toddler Meltdown. : it doesn't last long maybe a few minutes... but I feel bad. Electronics generally give us the biggest meltdowns tv shows or iPad/phone but we have them or other things too.

Lol ok I'm glad I'm not the only one.
LOL, we do have meltdowns, but similar to SpitsnGiggles, we try using the "say bye bye" method. DS is actually the one who started doing it when we'd call him to come eat & he'd say bye bye to the TV. So, we followed his lead & try it for other situations. Some times are more successful than others.
It's the hardest to say "no" to him when he immediately starts saying, "mama, pleeeeessse?" Ugh, it's so darn cute!
We also try to drill into him the concept of time - we say a lot of stuff like:
"Not now; later", "You can read that book tomorrow. Now it's time for night-nights", "First you have to do X, *then* you can do more Y."
