Guest guest Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 A portable door alarm might help. I used to use one in hotels when I traveled for work. Wouldn't stop them from exiting, but you'd sure be woke up (they're LOUD). Only goes off if the door is opened or the cord pulled out of the unit. Could hang it on the curtain rod to keep it out of the kiddo's reach. Found one on the internet for $10.95 at http://www.traveloasis.com/comperanddoo.html . Don't know anything about the vendor.

My son is 7 so he cannot yet move it (I don't know what we will do when he gets older). I only wish I could stay awake 24/7 and had eyes in the back of my head and also on top.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 This is normal for my son. When we are out in public, he stays in his special Maclaren stroller (it is built to carry a 140 lb child/person) unless my daughter evicts him. She doesn't understand why my son gets to ride all the time and occasionally insists she needs to ride in it. When he bolts I tell him " come here " and he does. If he doesn't, I will do trials of come here until he does. He knows he independently needs to come here because the trials will not end until he does so. I was taught this in his Lovaas Therapy. When we first implemented this program, we always had a second person so one person could give the SD (command) and the other could do hand over hand. I think the alarm someone mentioned is an excellent idea and I will be getting one. Thank you!
