[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]why is it weird that a parent holds the hand of their 8 year old to cross the street, or at any other time? For one it may not be about a safety issue [b]but simply a close bond.[/b] Second, linking a taller parent ot a shorter child is simply a good idea so cars can see the taller parent, if they may not be able to see the child. Does this mean the parent doesn't trust the kid to walk next to them without darting off? NO, it's just a decision they have made for their child, which in no way harms them or anyone else so don't be so judgmental next time. [/quote] Yup. That's what it is mostly, I'm sure. At least for most families. I hold my husband's hand when we are out walking. And it's not because either of us needs control or assistance. Those days will end. Enjoy them now.[/quote] My 14 yo grabs my MIL's hand when walking. It was really nice. It's a nice thing to teach children to do. It is just natural now.[/quote]
