[blparent] Keeping track of children in noisy environments

[Stacie Hardy - NFBHOU]

Hello all,

What a great question. I agree with was already been said. You might 
also consider using tiles. These could be worn by your child as a 
necklace. You would have a smaller tile on your key ring. When you 
wanted to locate your child, you would simply press the tile on your 
keys, and the tile your child wears would make a sound. We use these for 
locating our luggage. Hope this helps.

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?
