Stop and Go

Stop and Go is a technique Jo introduced to the Merrill Family to make sure the children stayed with their mother on neighborhood outings. It is very similar to the Roaming technique.

Steps

 * 1) Explain the rules: "When mommy says go you can go. If mommy says stop you must stop. If you don't stop if mommy says stop you have to stay by me until you can behave or we go home."
 * 2) While on the outing, say "Stop" if the children get too far ahead. Give lots of praise when they stop.
 * 3) Only say "Go" when everyone is back at the same pace.
