I wanted to say this to my child in Spanish (he was in the way). Is there anything more natural-sounding than ¡Retrocede!'

El verbo isn't needed, Atras is perfectly fine. It is too much work to add Hazte para, on top of that it is not completely gramatically correct for this situation and could come across a bit rude since Haz is a command. Yet since they are talking to their child it would not necessarily be considered rude. I don't know!

How about, 'hazte para atrás'? Or is the verb unnecessary'
