[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks so much, PPs, these are helpful replies. Any advice for when we are out of the house? One example is the gym parking garage. I want her to walk holding my hand but she wants to be carried. I’m carrying a bag and it’s so hard to carry her too, but I can’t sit down in the garage and cuddle. [/quote] Offer choices. “My body is too tired to carry you right now, but I can sit next to you in the car until you’re ready to walk, or you can walk inside and once we get inside you can sit on my lap once I find a chair— which one do you want?” Gently repeat until she chooses. She will learn eventually, OP. Just hold the line. [/quote]
