and i do think there's a difference between hand holding or having your kid on a leash. human / skin to skin contact is very important, not only so kids learn what normal touching is and what isn't, but also because holding your kids especially at such a young age is great for bonding

there are a lot of semi busy roads here that arent made for walking by but u kinda have to if u want to get somewhere, l
esp if u live in more open and or wooded areas
ok i can get behind that bc thats consistent at least
i just dont rly see a practical difference between holding their hand and having them on a leash in the situations where u would hold their hand, except for for the kid who would then still get to run around as they please within a certain radius and pick up rocks or whatever it is they do
i dont have toddlers in my life im running off the memories i have of being one
hmm i don't have a good idea of how dangerous those roads are etc bc i live in the city. but i think it would still be a better in the long term to talk to your kids abt the dangers, make agreements on what to do when a car approaches, etc. instead of just having them on a leashSolar wrote:
though, if the situation is truly dangerous (walking next to a highway i would think is dangerous and idk when u would ever walk next to a highway?? is that an american thing?) holding their hand is completely fine and understandable. a leash i find very dehumanizing though, why do that if you can just . hold their hand.
it was just the first road name i thought of which on second thought is completely wrong sljdhgfdkguhyre wrote:
how does that differ from holding their hand
in ur in a mall, or in a crowded street, ur going to hold ur kids hand or even carry them
i dont see how this is different by this logic?
when ur saying "in public" ur not differing between walking next to the highway and a park, which also matter here
which i didnt specify in my original question bc id presume ppl would have to make their own perimeters for when they think its nonsense and when they think its ok
i feel like continuously holding a toddlers hand while walking is also not great . toddlers are capable of understanding requests and can follow their parents if they want to do so,, especially if you have a conversation beforehand explaining to them where you're going and what kind of behavior you expect from them - this gives them room to understand the situation, but also make their own choices. how does that differ from holding their hand
