[blparent] Keeping track of children in noisy environments

[Jack Chen]

Hi all.

Thanks so much for the many responses.

My kids are about 2.5 and 5.

 From folks that have trained their children, can you share any 
techniques that were particularly helpful? Calling them works sometimes 
but sometimes does not in my case.

Jack
