loulou Report post Posted June 21, 2006 Hi, Kai likes taking lots of "treasures" out with us. He's not so bad as he used to be though (he's nearly 8). All i can suggest, is maybe getting a little child's rucksack, then telling him he can put anything in it, as long as it fits. That way, you limit what he takes, and it all stays together in the bag. Easy to transport back home too. ??? Loulou x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss Report post Posted June 21, 2006 I would try to limit what he needs to take by letting him buy/choose new bag, container, tin etc to pick some special things to take. But limit the things he can take to that one bag/tin etc. Once its full, its full. Let him choose different items each day to put in, if that would please him more. Could he take photos of his other wordly goods, so he can look at them, or pictures etc. What about a reward system. For every time/day he co operates and uses just one bag/tin full etc, at the weekend he can choose a special treat or toy? Good luck Hope you find something that works Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynyona Report post Posted June 21, 2006 When kieran was younger and still at school he would never leave the house unless his bag was so full of stuff that onl;y i could carry it.I was later told it was a security thing taking a bit of home to school.But the stuff he didnt ever bring home with him,at one point school asked us to not let him fetch stuff buit it was either that or he didnt go lol. lynn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karen A Report post Posted June 22, 2006 I don't have any answers but undestand.Ben likes to take things out whenever we go out.With him the most frustrating thing is the waiting around while he decides what to take and locates it.We need to allow extra time otherwise I get stressed and he gets mors adamant that he absolutely has to have whatever with him to survive.He then leaves said article behind and we have to search for it before coming home.

lil_me Report post Posted June 22, 2006 (edited) Oh dear been through this one What we did - bought him a special bag (quite small) to put things he wanted to take and a box, we put his name on it and next to the front door. We called it his 'safe' so he knew all the things he couldn't fit in the bag were in the box safe until we got home. Seemed he was scared that they either wouldn't be when we got back, or I would put them away and he wouldn't be able to find them (my fault) He now is much better and will accept being restricted to taking one or 2 things, but somethings we have to say no like a massive encyclopeadia which I know I will end up carrying.
