[quote=Anonymous]So starting when he could walk, he was the kid that when stressed would run away (in the parking lot, etc). We have dealt with this about 1-2x a year for quite some time. He once ran home from school to our house about a mile away when stressed about something (he was in K). It's scary and as he is getting older (He's 11) and stronger I can't really restrain him. We had a situation the other day where I was upset with him for something he did to his sister. We were parked in the car and he bolted. I don't really know what to do about this and as he gets bigger and older I think we could be in a dangerous situation for him. Advice? Threats don't work, as in "I will take away X if you do this" as he can't seem to think rationally in the moment. FWIW, I am a bit like this, or was when younger. My father was totally like this and would leave often when there was an issue at home. Anyway, again, advice welcome! [/quote]
