"My 3 year old is very active. In fact he wont stay in one place for more than a few minutes. Are there any management tools you can suggest to help me keep him in one place, like his booster or car seat, without an excessive amount of struggle/effort?"
Much like the office cubicle system was invented to control and limit the activities of office drones valuable human resources, I have come up with a pediatric control system. It is currently going through prototyping, but I'll let you know what is in the works.
My system is based on the concept of a ski boot and ski binding system. The child will wear a harness equipped with a small plastic protuberance (we are in negotiations with a clothing manufacturer to come up with a line of pediatric clothing with the integrated protuberances so there will be no need for a special harness). This protuberance will fit into something akin to a ski boot binding that has been attached to the bed, booster, chair or wall, where ever it is you wish the child to stay. All you do is "click" the child into the binding, and the child stays but, but has free movement of their hands for play or eating activities. When you want to reposition the child, give them a gentle tug on their shoulders and they are released from the harness.
Parents we have tested the system with have had generally favorable experiences. Initial complaints were "my child complains about the discomfort of the binding system while sitting", so we have begun looking at a second generation system using flat magnets. Having said that, the test group reported that on whole, the product was extremely useful and now allows them to do things like "have a family dinner without the kids getting up and running around" or "not break into a sweat while trying to get the kids into the car seat". Just remember, workers rebelled against Fredrick Taylor time and motion studies until managers were given proper incentives. Besides, doesn't your work cubicle make you a more productive worker, if it didn't your owner boss wouldn't allow you to have one.
lol, office drones!!!!

who passed for 52 touchdowns in his only year as a starter. The following season Symons was replaced by Nike Free 7.0 another fifth year senior, Sonny Cumbie, who passed for 4.742 yards, the sixth best in NCAA history. This season Cody Hodges a fifth year senior with four years of Nike Free Everyday bench sitting experience is leading Tech's quest for it's first ever Big 12 Title and even a shot at the National Championship.
Now what does this all mean to us youth football Nike Free Run coaches?
