[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a very reasonable chore for a teen or tween. Maybe they're not good at it, but they'll get better. [/quote] +1 Sheesh is this our level of coddling kids now? That teenagers can’t walk dogs? If you’ve got a strong, aggressive dog, okay, but just a clueless kid getting tangled with the occasional runner? Talk about low stakes! This kind of attitude is why so many college kids have anxiety now. They aren’t given any responsibilities or space to grow and learn in the real world. The crying 13 year old will learn and do better, and then will be better prepared when actually problems crop up in his life. [/quote] You can give kids responsibilities but make sure they can handle it. I've seen kids walking dogs and they clearly cannot handle it nor want to. [/quote]
