How to deal with toddler who runs…

Hello!

Hi… mother of two (2.5yrs & 6m) and my 2.5yr old boy is a runner! Loves to run! Sometimes he will listen but mostly just runs and I’ve started to minimise where we go together because it’s dangerous.
I guess my question is, do they grow out of this? Are there certain activities I can do to help? I’ve tried the monkey backpack and it makes him worse… plus I don’t like the look of it in public if I’m being honest

He will grow out of it. Maybe try talking about it before each outing (I”m sure you do) but then rewarding good behaviour.

It’s quite common for toddlers to be enthusiastic runners. While they usually grow out of it as they develop more self-control, in the meantime, consider engaging in structured activities that channel their energy, like organized playdates, toddler gymnastics, or outdoor games that involve stopping and starting.
