Re: Toddlers on a leash
I used to think they were awful. I was at the mall one day and saw two different families using them for their toddlers. One mom literally dragged her kid into a rack of clothes, and the other dad was letting the kid run everywhere, within the reach of the leash. I thought it was horribly irresponsible (it was), and painted kid leash users with a broad brush - all THOSE parents must not want to be bothered with their children.

I have used a leash. I don't lead or drag my child with it. He never minded it at all, in fact he PREFERRED it to being worn. Personally I think using the leash showed FAR more respect for my son that forcing him to be worn or strapped into a stroller. It also kept him safe which is the point of a leash. |

I believe that children are brighter and more intelligent than a dog so you could teach them to obey and walk along beside you. Honest question if you don't lead your child with it than what exactly do you do? ![]()

For the second part, I think (just going by my own kids) that it usually ends up being the child in front "leading" as it were, not the parent dragging the child by the leash. Semantics really!

Re: Toddlers on a leash
I think with any parenting/baby tool (such as a swing, stroller, harness, etc.) it should be used and not abuse as it fits for the parent and child.

It is not something that everyone likes or wants to use. Personally I'm not a big fan of strollers for many reasons, but mainly because I want my kids to walk and use up their energy rather than riding everywhere. For me, the harness/leash is a happy medium between the confines of the stroller and the comfortableness of holding my hand for long periods of time. |
