It wasn't till just very recently that I started taking my own little gaggle-of-five-aged-eight-and-under out for shopping excursions by myself. I prefer to take someone with me as backup, but I'm finding it harder and harder to find anyone willing to help out. *sigh* I never thought to try the reverse single file before. Tres smart! We do play "train" a lot around the house though, so that one might be easy for us incorporate during shopping trips. BTW, Ninja Stealth Mode? Too funny! I didn't know anyone outside our house knew about Ninja Stealth Mode. 'Course, we usually only use it at home to find a great hiding place to jump out and scare the doodie out of someone walking by. *tee hee* I love, love, love (hope that attempt at italics works – I’m far from smart when it comes to making html work!) your ideas!

I remember having little ones file up behind me - I always felt like mother duck! But it works. The other thing we do - even with older children - is we always have a book in the car. If I'm doing dress shopping, or waiting at the chemist, or anywhere where the kids are stationed still, they read a book. Never leave home with out a book is becoming a family motto!

I also taught kids that "no" means no the first time, after one time they are in trouble when we get home. They have to learn that early or you'll have aisle-rollers screaming and fit-throwing.
