Teaching kids to stay with you
Brinley has always been a wanderer--so the easy route has been to keep her in a cart when we're out shopping. She's 4 1/2 so she should be more than capable of listening and staying close to us when asked. With our upcoming trip to Disney we've been letting her out most of the time as practice, but I feel like I'm constantly telling her to come back, hold onto the cart, don't wander off, etc.
She is very independent and feels confident in new and different situations (which isn't a bad thing!). Her curiosity rules all when she sees something interesting and her impulse is to just go look at it, right now.
Any tips for teaching Miss Independent better habits? I don't want her to be fearful, but a bit of caution and patience would be good,

Re: Teaching kids to stay with you
At Disney I was always really focused on her and what we were doing. We talked to her beforehand about always making sure she was holding someone's hand. We talked to her about not wanting her to get lost. For precaution we also talked about what she should do if lost. And I made up an engraved tag with her name and our phone #s and attached it to her shoe just in case.
I was nervous but it was fine. We usually have success in big places like this and zoo, amusement park, airport. Places like the grocery store or target are more frustrating!
