That doesn't involve him screaming and being dragged along!!
He is 3.3 and a very independent boy - he will not hold mine or DH's hand walking anywhere and obviously when near/crossing roads, we need to keep him safe.
We tend not to go out for walks very often as it is just so stressful with me and DH shouting a lot/DS1 screaming once DH has picked him up as he refuses to hold hands etc but me and DH love going for walks and really want to get him to hold hands.
We let him run and be free whenever it is safe to do so, he will not wear a backpack so one of those is out of the question.
Any advice on how to handle it as every walk home from nursery is traumatic at the moment
