RE: Why Finding Dory left me Broken and in Tears (An Autism Mums Perspective on Wandering)
Hide it in her favorite shoes at the time! I great way to track your child wherever you go is to take a picture of their shoes before you head out the door. Even if someone has stalked them and brought clothes to put over their owns they originally had on they typically don't have time to change the kids shoes so when your child is lost in a crowd frantically have everyone look for for her feet based on your picture. People will start sucking down naturally to really help you and then you get a better view to spot your child like only a mom can! It is some weird survival news I heard one time. Also, the watch probably made noise or had an alarm setting if it was fancy. The beeping of a watch is so so frustrating if a noise and she hears that at a higher level. Even just glancing at the button will make her remember the noise and associate it with the watch and being to really dislike that watch. Bad noises to me are like the ultimate punishment. It hurts in a way you can't imagine. She'll do what she has too to avoid that noise for good!!! One thing I use that people kinda make fun of is a Fanny pack. Because I forget it's there but when I Need something I am like oh ya my little belly pouch has me covered. Maybe she would enjoy it like I do and a lady out in public the other day told me she had a feeling they were coming back in style but I don't know if she was just being nice or sincere.
