[blparent] children and trust

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

I used the leash, but mainly for times like when we were in church and Sarah 
wanted a little freedom to stand up or wander, right around the chair I was 
in.  I hardly ever walked very far while using the leash because I taught my 
daughter to hold my hand.

"How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, 
compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of 
the weak and the strong.  Because someday in life you will have been all of 
these."--George Washington Carver, 1864-1943, American scientist
