This is a question Tantrums

Pooster says: "When we were younger my little brother had a tantrum which ended when he threw a fork and it stuck in my other brother's cheek for a bit." Tell us your tales of screaming kids, and adults acting like children.

My son was fond of putting his arms straight up and going limp, in order to slip out of my grip.
A common technique, I believe, that went somewhat awry when I was only holding onto him via his backpack, meaning that he fell, face first, onto the gravel, breaking his front teeth

We used to call that "going doggo", when they went all limp.
Trying to pick up a doggo child is like trying to lift a sack of jelly. Ok in principle, impossible in practice.

Dragging them along by one foot
usually changes their mind. Or dislocates an ankle.

Hook them with a finger in each gill like a fish.

I have more than one memory
of making a frantic grab and having them dangle by one leg from my outstretched arm. Chuckle chuckle, silly daddy, yes, wasn't that fun, DON'T DO IT AGAIN, ha ha, silly daddy.

Dungarees are useful to counteract this
On occasions I carried my toddlers around like small angry handbags.

I found the harness and reins sold in mothercare shops to be sufficiently strong to use as a lifting sling, it was really funny watching my little lad trying to run whilst hoisted up 2 foot off the ground.

Ah, the old "Arms up and go limp" trick.
They seem to also magically dislocate their shoulders at the same time so they slip right through your hands.
