[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 119231, member: 1233"] I remmeber going through this, and the looks from other parents/shoppers was awful. Sorry you had to go through it. I also told him we would be using the "leash" when he came shopping next time. I couldn't find one, so I used velcro sewn onto a ribbon, with a long cord attached. The ribbon went around his wrist, and he HATED it. It was soft, but he could not run away!! On the second shopping trip I would just have the "leash" in my purse, IF he behaved well on the first one. I also use a technique we learned from his Montessori director so many years ago. It is called GLUE. I tell whatever child is giving me a problem that they are "glued" to this spot - hand must stay on the spot on the cart, or at home feet/body must stay on the exact spot I point to. They can only get up/away when I unglue them or there is no "screen time". This means no computer, gameboy, gamecube, TV, or anything else with a screen. And I really don't care if teacher X assigned something to be done online or researched online. They can find a way to do it at school or they can hand it in late. I consider that a consequence, part of the "You WILL behave in public with me or I WILL make your life very unpleasant." Glue works best for us it I can start it BEFORE the child is overstimmed immensely. I hope maybe you can adapt one of these to help you? Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
