[blparent] Bells; Yea or Ney?

[Tammy]

Hi,

I did the same thing, teaching my sons to come when they’re called, or at least to answer me so I know where they are.  My 2 year old doesn’t do it well yet,  but my 6 year old answers for both of them, and knows that if he doesn’t answer when I call him, we leave wherever it is we are, and go home.  He’s so good about it, we’ve only had to leave 2 times and that was when he was very little.

Hi.  Honestly, I had planned to use bells, but I never found that I needed 
them.  I was just careful to keep the home environment safe and listen 
closely to where Sarah was.  The bells might have come in handy in public 
places that I wasn't as familiar with, but I started teaching Sarah early, 
as soon as she could talk, to answer me when I called her.
