What are your thoughs on baby leashes?!?
or harnesses, I recently bought my 18 month old one, I feel a little embarrased sometimes but I do it for her safety, Last month she ran out in front of a car and her grandma yanked her by the arm and pulled her arm out of socket so now im afraid to even touch her arm! My daughter likes to walk and she’s too heavy to carry, Ive heard people say how degrading they are and mean but I feel its ok since its for her protection, what are your thoughts, (only serious ones please)
Excuse me destiny?! But I am grateful to my mother in law, I’d much rather she hurt her arm then get hit by a car! And no my child wont hold my hand she’s a baby! She wants to run around, so if your not going to be helpful to my question why dont you go answer someon elses question!
To all you people who said that a leash is for a dog and to either teach your kid to stay by your side or use a stroller do not take their young children for walks.
It is hard for a young child to understand that running infront of a car is dangerous. It is even harder for them to “hear” even the best of parents that tell them no, stop or any other appropriate word of caution.
It is not at all comfortable or natural for a young child to “hold hands” all the time when walking. If you are tall it can actually become painful. When they don’t have to stretch to hold your hand they are old enough to not need a leash and be able to mind you. This can be anywhere between 2 and 4.
It is a GREAT idea for any child under the age of 2 to be leashed or harnessed when they are in a place the that can slip out of your hand and get hurt or kidnapped. Be it the sidewalk, supermarket or amusement park.
Also there is NO exercise benefit or independence for a child in a stroller. Not to say that they won’t like it.
For people that don’t have access to large areas that their children can run about, a walk around the block or through the mall is great for them. It lets them explore things and help promote an active lifestyle.
Any parent that does think that a leash is degrading should also remember that these are little people that poop in their pants, suck on bottles and scream and throw themselves on the floor when they don’t get their way.
The degrading part is to the parent who is more worried about their image than that of their childs safety.
