Now we need to teach our children to make choices, but let’s get real.</p> <p>Parents need to be responsible to make many choices for their children especially when the child is younger than 13. Consider this, asking 2- or 3-year-olds if they want to ride in the cart in the store or walk. Picture this, if these children had been put into the carts as infants and that habit was continued until they were old enough and responsible enough to walk, then there would be less fuss and crying.</p> <br class="clear" /><p><a href="http://www.hutchinsonleader.com/news/opinion/letter-parents-take-control-your-kids-9004">read more</a></p> http://www.hutchinsonleader.com/news/opinion/letter-parents-take-control-your-kids-9004#comments Opinion Thu, 17 Jul 2008 09:27:42 -0500 Melissa Sullivan 9004 at http://www.hutchinsonleader.com
