when he clearly now realises that it sends me absolutely batshit on the motorway when he takes his arms out of the straps and leans way forward and says, 'mommy, come show you.'
I have tried:
1.ignoring it (dangerous)
2. pulling over and waiting till he puts arms back in (he has a will of steel)
3. Pulling over, getting out of the car, ranting, cramming his arms back in by force (unsatisfactory, he wins & tends to do it again, I feel like shit for hours after)
4. tying him in with an extra belt (scared in case of emergency)
5. counting to 5 out loud (doesn't work)
6. bribing him (only lasts as long as the bribe)
7. telling him the Gruffalo will come and eat his arms off (worked for a while, seems to have lost its usefulness)
Please help.
