I find it tiring to bring my 17 month old toddler out. She does not like to hold my hand or sit in a stroller. I always had to keep an eye on her, and I did not manage to shop for anything. How do you mummies manage your toddler when you are bringing him/her out?

Consistency is the best thing we can teach our child. Set rules and stick with it. Simple rules. And that means if you say, no holding of hands means going home, then you will have to abide by it. It is indeed very texting, yet at the same time Rewarding. A lesson which will go a long way.
