He's only 20 months and he's always trying to pry his hand out of mine in parking lots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-children-listen-in-public#post-2531039 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 13:49:30 +0000 snowjewelz 2531039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>K is a runner too, free spirit, doesn't wanna hold hands! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-children-listen-in-public#post-2530833 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 12:03:58 +0000 Maysprout 2530833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first always listened well. My second .. . We had a few times of her being a lil stinker around the time she turned 2. A few timeouts and lots of talks and at 2 and a half she listens pretty good. I still watch her pretty carefully bc she seems to have dangerous instincts. But at least now she listens when I tell her to stop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-children-listen-in-public#post-2530817 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 11:53:19 +0000 winniebee 2530817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I've always taken it for granted that DS1 is super obedient in public. He would never take off on me, run into a parking lot, etc. He is a pretty cautious kid. He might protest over leaving some place, but I can trust him not to do something dangerous.</p> <p>DS2 is a little monkey though! He'll run away, run off, etc. He's only 16 months so I'm hoping it's just a stage!</p> <p>Do your kids listen in public? </p>
