[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old? Short term solution -- give bribes. You can have a snack or a treat once you are buckled in. My kid would do almost anything for a small piece of chocolate at that age. Long term solution -- make them feel like they have choices. Do they want you to lift them into the seat or do they want to get in on their own? Do they want to wear their jacket in the seat or take it off before we buckle? Do they want to listen to a podcast or music in the car? And so on. Just help him to feel like he has some agency over the situation so he feels less like he's being pushed around. The timing of when you leave somewhere in the car will generally not be up to him, so try to give him some choices around how you get in the car, or at least offer some appealing incentives.[/quote] Going through this list of silly negotiations will not cut any time off that 10 minutes :lol: [/quote]
