[QUOTE="Andy, post: 209689, member: 5096"] Welcome! I was wondering how walkie talkies would work. Kids love to use them and he can call you every so often and you can call him to see which way he went. Tell him that you worry about him and it is important that he be able to call you. Maybe make a game of it once in awhile where he calls and gives you directions to where he is? It will teach him how to give directions and give you an idea where to look when he does disappear. Make "check ins" lighthearted or as if you are looking for info. "difficult child?" "Here Mom" "Can you come home for a snack?" or "difficult child?" "Yeah Mom?" "Does your brother need a jacket?" Otherwise, today when I was looking for difficult child (not far, just didn't hear me calling) I wondered if I could get him a shock collar like our neighbor's dog has so that I knew he would actually be in the yard somewhere? But then I suppose I may get in big trouble for that one? :smart: I hope you find an answer soon. Hard enough when they run off on their own but to take a 4 year old with adds another stress.
