Growing Lettuce

I have planted several perpetual lettuce but half of them are going to seed less than 2 weeks after we picked our first leaves. I understood with perpetual lettuce that we just harvested the lowest leaves. I assume even perpetual lettuce will seed eventually but is there a way I can prolong the life to more than the few weeks? Thank you
