Simple Trick to Keep Track of Your Kids in Stores and Parking Lots

Tell your kids they need to keep one hand in one of your pants’ pockets. Not wearing pants? We use our purses, coats, or anything you are wearing. In the grocery store, my kids hold onto, or ride in, the cart at all times. The goal is you want to be able to keep track of them but allow them some independence since they do not always want to hold your hand. We always review the rules in a friendly manner right before stepping out of the car.
