At her age she's just learning the cause and effect of it all. As she gets older and can understand more, you can practice and teach her the difference between play and obey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uh-oh-somebody-figured-out-the-run-away-from-mama-game#post-1194587 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 10:54:18 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1194587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A leash? Kidding (maybe....) </p> <p>DD is 21 months and thinks it's hilarious to run away from us everywhere we go. No matter how much we try to explain it to her, she just doesn't understand. I think it's something that is just learned with time. Enjoy it now, since she's only crawling :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uh-oh-somebody-figured-out-the-run-away-from-mama-game#post-1194577 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 10:51:34 +0000 Arden 1194577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bump. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uh-oh-somebody-figured-out-the-run-away-from-mama-game#post-1194165 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 23:48:52 +0000 hellocupcake 1194165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uh oh. I didn't even think of the potential confusion later. We just play along. She especially loves to crawl away when we say "nooooooo". We should probably try to correct that soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uh-oh-somebody-figured-out-the-run-away-from-mama-game#post-1194132 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 23:03:56 +0000 Arden 1194132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Apparently the funniest thing in the world is to take off in the opposite direction whenever she's called. I say "Viviana, come here", and she starts crawling at top speed away, looking over her shoulder and giggling like crazy. </p> <p>It's adorable, but I don't want to encourage it because running when she's called could turn dangerous someday... like when she's near a road or something. </p> <p>So... thoughts? I try not to laugh at her and just pick her up, but I don't know any other way to communicate to her that this isn't a game. She's so stinking cute. Sigh. </p>
