[quote=Anonymous]Leashing your child is teaching him nothing. Once you take the leash off you're still left with a kid that was never taught to properly cross the street. I once taught a middle school aged kid that would bolt into the street to look at storm drains. I had to teach him to walk with me and stop when I said so. We started in the basement, then moved to the backyard, then to a non busy street, then to a parking lot. This took about 3-4 months to teach because the mother never taught him to do this when he was young and always had him on a leash or in a stroller. Making your life easier now isn't going to help you in the long run. Take the time to teach your kid life skills when they're still young rather than taking the easy way out. [/quote]
