Hi ladies,

I'm in serious need of advice/opinions/experience.

My son doesn't listen basically. If he's in the mood to then he will but if he wants to do something...he's doing it regardless of what I say!

Is this just normal toddler behaviour?

The worst thing is running off, if we go out and he walks then he walks where HE wants, if I say 'no baby were going this way hold my hand' he either runs off or has a huge tantrum.

How can I stop this? At the moment if he runs off or won't hold my hand then I stick him back in the pram and explain that if he doesn't walk nicely he goes in the pram but this obviously isn't giving him the chance to learn how to walk/behave properly.

There's other things he won't listen with but these are minor/I can handle. The running off is just too much!
