I had kids who didn't want to hold my hand. Kids that were too big to be carried everywhere, or not enough hands to do it. So, they had a choice--they could either hold my hand, or they could wear the tot leash. More often then not, they chose the tot leash. It allowed them 3 feet of independance, and gave me peace of mind. Likely, the preteen mentioned was either being abused by his parents or they were trying to prove a point with him. Obviously this scenario is the extreme and should not be used as the standard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-368780622846996625.post-74976671505410027782010-06-22T06:39:34.888-07:002010-06-22T06:39:34.888-07:00Two cents well spent!Two cents well spent!molliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03894607486959806135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-368780622846996625.post-32898189624565157562010-06-22T04:54:34.366-07:002010-06-22T04:54:34.366-07:00I have such a problem with those.

There have been reports of children being tied to the clothes line or porch with these things. I think they are the worse thing you can do to your child. But that's just my two cents worth. <br /><br />L.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
