[quote=Anonymous]We walk 0.8 miles to school. My 6 year old often has a tough time in the morning and can barely tolerate his shoes on his feet. I carry his bag often. I told him about 6 weeks ago that in 1st grade, he will need to carry his own backpack to school because that's what 1st graders do. He bought it and has been doing a great job. My 3rd grader gets helps when he needs it. He carries it to school 100% of the time, and on the way home I help who needs it. Often my 3rd grader will carry his brother's bag while I carry the heaviest one. It all depends on the moods. So yes, I do try to shift this on to them with some reasonable accommodations Little kids sometimes need help, it's not a big deal.[/quote]
