Hi all,
My daughter turned 2 in Feb and she’s always been very active and climbs everything, moves furniture to climb on windowsills, empties out cupboards and drawers. She’s always been able to escape from buggy’s and car seats until I got a Houdini strap. She won’t sit in a high chair or trolley she climbs out and stands up and jumps off. I’m at my wits end and am struggling to want to be nice to her or take her anywhere. When we’re out she’ll scream about being in the pram so I let her out she holds my hands for a second then will tug out of it or run and she will run so fast and out of sight I have to try catch her with buggy in tow. She won’t stay near me even if I call or shout or walk the other way she just doesn’t care! I’m finding it impossible to take her to parks, cafes, superstores, soft play basically anywhere and am just not enjoying any outings with her. She is very sweet and loving never hurts anyone and sleeps well I’m just finding it impossible to leave the house! (She’s not the sort of child to appreciate reigns she’d just sit on the floor and scream. Did try a few times!) I feel I am quite stern with her, will put her in bed for bad behaviour and will get down to her level and tell her ‘don’t run away’ etc. Not sure what else I can do?
