[quote=Anonymous]My 18 month old has just started doing this approximately 60% of the time we are going somewhere. She’s very strong willed and stubborn in general but used to really enjoy going places. It’s gotten to the point that I dread leaving the house. I want to be patient with her but it’s cold and in the morning before work I have no help. I think that she’s trying to assert some independence and control over her world. I tell her we’re leaving soon and try to follow the same routine for getting her ready to go, but the lack of autonomy toddlers have is hard for them. In a true time crunch I sometimes let her watch a short clip on my phone or look at a photo of us or our dogs, which works to get her in the seat but obviously upsets her when I have to take it and start driving.
