    Counterpoint: children are people

    I grew up with my father working night shifts and my mother being tired all the time, I didn’t need a leash.

    Children are a lot more capable and resilient if you give them the chance to be, and insulating them from small forms of possible harm doesn’t help their development.

    Now I am not saying “let your toddler run around a highway” but if you pick a reasonable place for your child to play there’s no need for a fucking leash 99% of the time.
