[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is crazy. My DD just turned 6 on Sat so only 2 months older than yours and she hasnt used a sroller since she was 3 except at Disney when she was 3.5.

We also have 2 large dogs we walk, she rides her scooter or her bike. Sat she rode for 4 miles. Your charge can too.
Tell hin youre going out for a scooter ride as an activity rather than to get somewhere. or a scooter ride to go get ice cream. Get him started with the fun stuff.[/quote]

It frustrates me when a mom compares their child to another and says mine can do this way can't yours?  Well, my kid walked part the time and was in a stroller for part of the time up to 7 years old.  He has low muscle tone.  He could walk, but not very far.  So I don't know if there is anything wrong with the child the nanny mentioned, but maybe that child is NOT just like yours.  I even bought a new and different stroller when my kid was 5, which was light and foldable, so it would be pushed part of the time and carried part of the time. I told him this was his last stroller and we were going to work together to walk further.

He was in the physical disabilities program at the school, but looking at him, you could not see what was wrong. [/quote]

That’s why at least one person specified that BARRING SPECIAL NEEDS, a 6 year old should be walking.  You said your child was in a physical disability program, so obviously it means your child has a reason.  A child with asd who has trouble with being touched would also have a valid reason, at least in crowds.  There’s no reason to list every possible special need that would make a stroller necessary.  However, OP is the nanny, and if there were a special need, she would have stated it.[/quote]
