Leash Kids and the Future of Child Rearing


I was in the mall one day, and I thought that I saw a lady walking around the mall with a dog on a leash. At first, i was wondering when the mall allowed pets in, but as I walked closer I noticed that it wasn't a dog at all; it was her child. After the my first sighting of a tether kid, I began to see more and more of these kids when I went out to public places.

My question is why would a parent tether their child with a harness when they could just hold their hand like the old days? However, parents who buy these tether harnesses are funding the companies who make them, which in turn is allowing them to produce even better child safety products that help parents ease the pain of child rearing. Next month, a company is releasing the "Shocking Love" electric play fence for toddlers. The fence will shock your toddler with wonderful love every time he touches the walls or tries to go over or around them.

Another company is releasing a product named "Kiddies." The product is a small, green, edible bone that cleans the child's teeth upon chewing. No more having to spend time with your child by having to help him brush his teeth. And to think, none of these fantastic advances could be possible without the child tethering harness or child leash.
