[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get your kid and immediately end the outing every time. When they learn running away = game over they will stop.[/quote]

I'm the strap the kid in the stroller mom.

My kid didn't do this on outings he was enjoying.  He did it because we were bored.  The first time I remember was standing in line at the pharmacy to get emergency asthma meds for his brother.  Or the grocery store, or the waiting room at the dentist.

Maybe if you have a life in which your kid only goes fun places the "end the outing" strategy makes sense, but most people don't have that.

If you have to bring your three year old on an outing like that, I think it’s good for there to be a reward at the end (like going to a favorite playground on the way home). In your examples, I think you just have to grab them and hold on tight.

Personally I wouldn’t talk about safety in this scenario. The one on one convo they barely understand anyway is all but a reward. Just contain them however you’re going to and grit your teeth and get through it. [/quote]

Kids shouldn't be rewarded for expected behaviors.  This is the equivalent to everyone gets a trophy.  Life is just not like that. Sometimes we have to do things we don't want and that is normal.  I am sitting in a terribly boring meeting right now and I don't need a reward at the end of it.[/quote]
