Reins For A 4 Year Old
Can anyone recommend a set of reins for a 4 year old escapee?
We've persevered for years with his escaping and tried them before but he just ended up in a tangle with his tantrums. Hoping now as he's older, even though still no change in behavior that the Reins will be something we can use on those days where we just know he's going to use every opportunity to run away

I only ever used reins on with the things (as it super hard keeping twins safe whilst looking after other young children). I bought these - http://
They weren't cheap but they were brilliant - I could have them full length so they things had some sense of freedom but they were still safe, I could keep hold of one set whilst getting one of them into their car seat, etc. they were worth every single penny.

Joe, once more we are in an ideal world - get on the bus, a queue behind you, bus doors still open.
If we were simply speaking of an unruly child, a lot of what has been said holds true - until numnum knows what she is dealing with then safety comes first.
Time, explanation and getting the child to open up and speak of why they act as they do is a hard road sometimes.

Joe - how long do you think you have to spend persevering before you think there's issues????
I've grabbed my sons hand, marched him back to bed for hours at a time every night, watched him eat his dinner like a dog then put it in the bin if he does it again, not took him to the park if he's spat at me, cancelled planned days out if he has done something really bad, toys have been confiscated, if I put him to his room for being naughty he pulls furniture onto himself, and I have persevered for 3 years now and I've seen no major change in anything. My list can go on and on of all the things he does and we do choose our battles and just give trouble for the more serious things he does but even at that it can be constant through the day.
These things should come and go in phases but they have stuck for years and that's when they say there's a problem with the child.
As for the reins, I do think he is to old but when things aren't registering with him and he's a danger to himself I'd rather pick him up from my feet with reins than under a bus. My way to use them would be more a threat, let him walk freely where its safe and knowing he'll run away have them there to take out if he does it again

Joe, you still haven't answered my question...
Do you think that there is such a condition as ADHD?
numnum, don't feel you have to defend your parenting to anyone. By investigating the cause of your son's issues you are proving that you are a good parent. I hope you find a solution and that your family gets the support needed if and when a diagnosis is made. Good luck.
