My DD is going through phase where nothing I say makes her stop and listen. When I am talking to her about something she says she is listening, but is always distracted.
My main worry is when we are out somewhere, and she runs off, nothing I say will make her stop and wait for me. I've tried shouting her name sternly, shouting 'STOP'... is there another way?
Yesterday we were walking back from the park, not next to a main road, but not far off, and she just started legging it. I am pg with DC2 so can't run fast enough after her, I was shouting at her to stop but she kept going until she got to where she wanted to go (a park bench!)
