Of course, I still usually hold his hand and I don't use it to drag him around or pull him back (which would be very leash-like) but more as a reminder that he can walk away from mommy, but not to far. I tell him to "bring puppy back" and he turns and walks back to me.Giftie Etceterahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11353862141419399333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-29023283679332709722007-07-14T22:22:00.000-05:002007-07-14T22:22:00.000-05:00I honestly don't know if I am appalled at or in lo...I honestly don't know if I am appalled at or in love with this idea!

To my surprise, the comments I heard tended to be about the safety of it, or how cute she was. And of course she loved the relative freedom. She didn't use it very long--she soon got old enough to not just wander or run off.<BR/><BR/>I didn't try using 2 leashes at once for twins--they just had to ride in the stroller longer.<BR/><BR/>My grandmother told me that they used a harness and leash on camping trips to keep my uncle (who would probably have an ADHD diagnosis now) from drowning in the river/getting lost in the woods/etc. They heard plenty of negative comments about treating him like a dog but considered keeping him alive more important than his dignity. Wearing a leash didn't prevent him from growing up to be a scientist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-45898697735707273982007-07-08T20:57:00.000-05:002007-07-08T20:57:00.000-05:00Believe it or not, I actually think that the "leas...Believe it or not, I actually think that the "leash" is a good idea. I mean, with all the cases of child abduction and other horrible things, what better way to have a hand (or an extension thereof) on your kid at all times? And if it's fun for Ander, then that's all that really matters!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
