[blparent] child locator

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

The beeper might be a good option for you then, especially if you teach him 
that when he hears the loud noise, he has to come to you immediately.  The 
fact that you can turn off the loud noise when he gets to you might make him 
be glad to come back so the unpleasant beeping will stop.  Praise him 
lavishly when he comes to you.

Just remember that the clip on the bear part of the locator, which your son 
would be wearing, is a belt loop style, closed at both ends, designed for a 
belt to slide through.

If you don't want to buy through Amazon, I'm sure you can Google "Mommy, I'm 
Here" child locator and find it other places.

"How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, 
compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of 
the weak and the strong.  Because someday in life you will have been all of 
these."--George Washington Carver, 1864-1943, American scientist
