[blparent] resource list

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Sorry, but you may think it's less cruel as your kid gets older and wants 
more freedom.  The leash isn't to make your child into a dog, it's to help 
your child stay near you without holding on his hand every second, while 
he's young and easily distracted.  Believe me, the leash is far less cruel 
than having your kid run off into the street or into some other dangerous 
situation, or having to keep him glued to your hand when he wants some room 
to explore.
