I have a confession: I was judging the parents that use kid leashes.
I would wonder why they have them when you just can call your child back to you. The backpack version was the one I could understand but not the wrist....
I have been humbled y'all. I have been HUMBLED by my own elopers. The first one went buck wild in a Staples. To this DAY, I can't go into a Staples without having flashbacks.
The 2nd eloper............ Escaped from school. When I say elopement is NO joke. The security measures at our home are constantly being improved. Cameras. Locks. Child proof is a baseline. We have to elopement proof everywhere.
So I used to judge, I get it now. I get it.
I'm still not using a child harness, but I understand the need for safety measures. If I ever use one I'll let y'all know. He's 7 so I'll take some suggestions for outdoors.
