[blparent] question

Hi.
At 20 months old, I think you can start introducing consequences for hiding. 
E.g., if she is hiding from you because she is trying to keep a toy from 
you, or because she doesn't want you to put her down for a nap, you could 
implement a consequence for that behavior. For instance, you could take 
whatever she has in her hand away - even if it is an "acceptable" thing for 
her to be playing with, or you could implement some sort of brief time-out. 
At 18 months old, Elise has started doing this as well. I generally find 
her, and follow through with whatever I said I would do immediately - like 
taking her to her room for a nap. You can also get remote child locators, so 
you could hit a button to make it go off. This might not work if she takes 
off the clothing you've pinned it to, though. I would say a consequence 
would be the most likely solution.
