| I find the CLeaR Method usually works for my toddler providing I use a suitable reward. Is it possible that your "kiss" reward isn't rewarding enough? Before you try the 2X-Rule, I think you should give your daughter a treat for walking nicely beside the stroller - I bet that works just fine.

| If you want to use consequences you might try taking away a treat. The way to do it is to bring some cookies or something with you on the walk and tell your daughter that you have them in your bag. Then the first time she runs off, tell her that it's dangerous and if she does that one more time she won't get her cookies. Then if she does it one more time, tell her you're not giving her any cookies. At her age, she'll probably understand that she lost out.

| It's harder to give consequences when you are out and about. But maybe you can use the consequence that if she doesn't walk nicely, you'll have to put her (against her will) into the stroller. I'm sure she will understand that she just lost the privilege of walking because she didn't hold onto the stroller.

| I was wondering about consequences too. My little guy refuses to go into his car seat. He hates being buckled in and he fights us all the time. I want to teach him that if he struggles with us, he will pay a "ticket" but I don't know what kind of ticket to give him. Any ideas?
