Go, and stop
โฑ๏ธ 5 min๐ฆ nothing needed๐ in or out๐คฒ on the move๐คธ Motor
A toddler who begins to run can get going long before they can stop, and stopping is the half that keeps them safe near a kerb or a table corner. Making the stop the fun part โ rather than the telling-off part โ is how it gets practised a hundred times without ever being a rule.
๐งบ You need
none โ one clear stretch of floor or grass
๐ก๏ธ Run this well away from roads, drives, water and glass โ a game that trains stopping is exactly the game a toddler will start playing somewhere you did not choose. Indoors, clear the corners and hard edges from the stretch first.
