[blparent] Keeping track of children in noisy environments

[dacia.luck at gmail.com]

My daughter is currently too young for me to worry about this. However, when I have been out with my niece and nephews are other children, I do a combination of things. I reminded him that anytime I called their name, they must respond to me. So I know where they are. If they do not respond, we will stop the activity and leave wherever we are. Also, attaching bills to their clothing works. Or putting shoes on them to have something that squeaks in them. I know sided parents who use them. Hope this helps.

I find myself struggling to keep track of my sons in noisy environments such as playgrounds, amusement parks, etc. My children are pretty good in the sense that they won't stray too far. That said, I want to be able to keep closer tabs on them. How do other blind parents tackle this challenge?
