[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids carry their backpacks starting in K. But sometimes I'll carry it part of the way if it is super heavy (like on library day) because we have a long walk. This seems like a strange thing to classify as coddling, though. I actually do think parents these days overreach in a lot of ways but this doesn't seem that significant.[/quote] I do it too. It's not great for their backs/posture when they are so young. When they are in older elementary/middle and have more strength I won't. My kids take responsibility in many other ways but I don't classify this one as coddling.[/quote]
