My Mum used to do this with my little sister - she regularly used to pack

sandwiches and used to take her coat and wellies and sit in the local

playground (within sight of the house) until she'd calmed down.

Similarly, my Great Aunt was a great runner away when little - went off for

huge adventures by herself and frightened her parents witless. She used to

knit her own children endless supplies of bright red jumpers so that, should

*they* run away they'd be visible from a distance. She was most put out

that they never tried it )
