Children are not the people of tomorrow, but people today. They are entitled to be taken seriously. They have a right to be treated by adults with tenderness and respect.

Of course kids have a right to walk, we are shocked anyone would suggest otherwise. They must not have understood your original post. Silly humans!
Thanks, I agree. Unfortunately, some people strap their kids in and never let them experience anything other than carseat, stroller, cart...so many missed teaching opportunities. I can't imagine a child developing normally being restricted all the time.
We agree that constant restrictions are contraindicated to free learning. Humans have developed odd tenancies to restrain and mold developing minds. Freedom at this stage allows more possible outcomes, with a higher rate for success.
Nice to see a mom interacting with, and involving her child in a life experience rather than just controlling him by strapping him down in the shopping cart. I think kids get a sense of self-worth and accomplishment by doing things like this :)
Thanks!
Sounds like a lot of fun.. I agree; shopping is such an opportunity to teach our little ones so many things.. my girls are so fond of our weekly target trips, comparing prices, etc.
