I started a thread a week or so back pleading for help getting ds1 to walk besides me when out and about. We've tried reins, he hates them, he also won't go in a buggy. It's got to the stage where I have to carry him into preschool or clamp his hand while he writhes and screams, and often just decides to lie down in the road. It's really stressful and has only been happening for a few weeks, but it's made me wary of taking him out anywhere on my own (with ds2 in the buggy) as I just can't risk that he'll run into a road.
It's not so much that he runs off, just that he wants to be independent and run on ahead if he knows where we're going. Jimjams (and anyone else reading this!) I've heard you cracked this one with your ds, can you help me please?

How on earth to get ds to walk with me and not run ahead. Jimjams, are you around?
