Taking the Keys

Whew. This is a tough one. One of the last things our LO wants is for their independence to be taken away from them.

As always, please use the strategies that work best in YOUR home. These are suggestions. You may have to go through a few to find what works best.

1. Talk with your LO and be compassionate and empathetic.

2. Get assistance from a medical professional.

3. Suggest alternatives like driving them, public transportation, or rideshare.

4. If there is resistance, remove the vehicle or replace it with keys that are fake or don’t work with that vehicle.

What have you done in this scenario?
