Check out the various book covers and artwork. Which is your favourite? Why?
Your participation in postings, pictures, links and your responses to other student's posts will determine your final grade. The goal of this blog is to supplement what has been discussed, read or written in class. Occasionally I will post a query or task with the expectation that you will eagerly respond. The same respect and diplomacy that is expected of you in the classroom extends to blogging space.

Kid's leashes primary function is safety. If necesairy, I wouldn't mind looking weird for the safety of my kids.
I can understand a parent wanting to do it with a young child. But anytime over the age of 5-6 is getting a little extreme. I think you should have better control over your kids by the time their that age.
By the age of 5-6, yeah. Obviously. But Ms Clifford is making quite the statement against ALL kid "leashes".
I'm glad I had a leash Or I'd Be GONE!
but aside from the point Mrs C you have to realize is that it is a harness to keep the child out of harm's way unlike other devices such as muzzles or straight jackets it may not be something that is "normal" but Honestly when was the last time you went anywhere and didn't see something "Odd"?
and remember now...shock therapy is still used when found necessary
I can see why some parents would put their kids on a leash. If the child likes to wander off then it is an easier way to know that the child is safe. Not all kids need leashes but there are the odd few who need it.
I do understand the leashes parents use, as long as they're only being used on younger kids! I've seen kids who were 7 or 8 still on leashes - that's wrong! By that point in a child's life, they should be taught to at least hold hands, they need to be allowed the freedom to be trusted rather than under constant "imprisonment" in order to learn responsibility.
Kids on leashes is completely wrong and I really don't know why they would come up with the idea of putting them on in the first place. I mean, your kid isn't a dog and they shouldn't be treated like one. And second, just hold your kids hand, they need some serious diciplin and less candy and chocolate for Easter if they think they can run away from you.
You are their parents, they HAVE to listen to you. I'm sorry if that sounds self-centered, but seriously, get your kid under control.
I don't think i would subject my kid to that. it's kinda of humiliating really. i mean, if you want them near, hold their hand for goodness sake!
