[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You buried the lede: [i]DD is a somewhat [b]volatile kid [/b]and this is one of her trigger points. She’ll throw a tantrum and refuse to go anywhere, or wail the whole way, or walk so slowly that it isn’t worth going. [/i]

This isn’t about walking. It’s about a kid who is struggling. What are you doing to address the volatility? What does your pediatrician suggest? Are you working with a therapist? [/quote]

[quote=Anonymous]Could she have a disability or physical challenge that’s gone undiagnosed? My DD(4)  the same way—she has tone and hypermobility issues that make it extra challenging endurance wise. We’ve done OT which has helped a bit with building core and posture strength. We also motivate on hikes with little objects that “the fairies leave” like little sparkles/sequins or gummies every .25 miles or so—she really likes this game.[/quote]

These two PP's are onto something. I'd try to figure out why she's putting her foot down on this. Is she like this about everything (my child is, and has ASD but is very smart so was successful at masking in some situations - but not at home)? Is she like this about only the stroller, or only about things that require physical activity? Try to find a theme, so that you can bring more data to your pediatrician. [/quote]
