Help with my son!

KSK

Hiya,

I am struggling with my son. He is 3 years old and going through diagnosis at the moment. My main problem is when we are out. He has to run everywhere? I have two other children who are at school and my son makes this so difficult to walk and meet them. He has no sense of danger so will just run into the road. He has his routines he has to do on the way and they all involve doing things he shouldn't (running up peoples drives, hiding behind trees). I have to make this trip three times a day and I get so tired of trying to stop him and telling him no. He doesn't speak and am not even sure if he understands no!? I was wondering if anyone has any ideas to keep his mind off doing these things or to help me stop him running everywhere as it isn't fair on my other children. We live near a main road so the whole way home is me chasing him, worrying he will run into the road and the other kids running along behind us.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
xx

  • My five year old is still like this now.  We used reins for as long as we could.  He loves rules to the point of obsession so we used this.  When we wlk along a road you hold my.....hand.  because cars are....dangerous.  It's sounds silly but he repeats the last words and now holds our hands.  It is difficult when all his friends are walking freely along the main road.  Especially when he starts yelling at them to hold hands!!  I am finding things easier now than when he was younger though, he understands a bit more.

    good luck x
