[blparent] walking with older children

[Jennifer S Jackson]

Keeping children on leading strings was not just for working women either.
We have portrait evidence from the Renaissance of young royals on such
leashes as well.

Here's a super brief description of leading strings:

There's a lot more information, but most of it seems to be in books.  It's
interesting how cultural norms influence everything from clothing to
parenting.

You know Julie, I think you are onto
something with your apron strings. I never thought of it being a literal

Thank you for this.
