How to teach a toddler to stop and come.

we practiced. :) when we are not needing him we tell him we are going to practice, call him and praise him when he comes....do it 2 or 3 times and tell him he did a good job coming when we called him. if we do need him, and he does not come then we do a do-over.....again practicing 2 or 3 times praising him when he comes. our son really just needed to making coming when called a habit. :)

I agree. Practice makes perfect. For places where it is dangerous to not stop, such as bythe street, I made sure to yell loudly and forcefully to both scare (a little) my daughters and to reinforce the importance of the command. I also played a game with them called "come back when I say so." Prizes included a high-5 or a hug.

When my children were little I played Red light green light with them at home and sometimes even in the store always at a walk in the store. Red light came in handy a couple of times in the parking lot and as they got older it wasn't needed anymore. Hope this helps a little. Does your child call for you and you come? Make it a game hide in the house and when he calls come to him as fast as you can then let him or her do the same. You could even count out loud and praise how fast he came. :clap:

I think practicing is a good idea, but of course, the novelty of doing that could wear off. There are some things that cognitively, toddlers are just not able to think through and understand the benefit of... such as not running out into the street. They don't "get" that we are trying to keep them safe. In these instances, it is good to have a child who understands the concept of obedience and consequences. If they do not obey, then they are choosing to have a consequence. They may not always like the consequence, and really, who enjoys giving spankings or time out? Certainly not me. But if we are looking out for safety, sometimes we have to have a little pain at the front end in order to avoid a permanent heartache at the backend.

Normally kids learns faster those things that they watch rather than that they listen. So, to learn them if you will practice that with some other kid who is elder to him and understood the meaning of go and stop then after watching that I think she might be learn it easily.
