She's nearly three. She's very wilful and has no concept of danger or road safety at all. To make matters worse we live on a quiet lane and often walk down the middle of it, but cars can suddenly appear out of nowhere. ther is a path for most of it but dd2 throws a total fit if she doesn't walk in the lane. At the bottom of the lane the road gets busy and she needs to be close to me esp. a sparents from the school use the end of the lane for turning. I want to start taking her out for walks with baby ds in his buggy, too.
What can I do? I've tried a wrist strap, but either she slips it or I end up yanking her like she's a reluctant labrador.
