[quote=Anonymous]My kids are 7 and 5 and both about 40 lbs. If they want to snuggle, I'll sit down and snuggle with them or give them a hug. If we're out for a walk and they want me to carry them, I might be able to carry them for half a block, and I'll offer to do that and point out exactly how far I'm going to carry them, so the expectation is set. That short distance usually satisfies their need to be carried. I can still comfortably give them piggie back rides. More often, though, I'll remind them that they're big kids now and I can't carry them anymore. Instead, I'll make a game out of walking together, like racing to the next tree or trying not to step on cracks (because they're lasers!) or playing red light-green light.[/quote]
