When my oldest was little we use to do this little jump from the 6th step up and I would catch her. Once when she was 4 1/2 years old I had hernia surgery and so we had to suspend the silliness for a bit except one time she forgot that daddy couldn't pick her up and out of habit leaped down the steps at me and I had to catch her because she would have gotten hurt if I didn't. The resulting pain almost killed me but I survived. I still pick up my kids and they are now 6 and 10 more out of jest than to show any kind of nurturing affection but I still do it. They get a kick out of it and it helps keep us connected. I figure the 10 year old is about at the end of her line but who knows I may be still picking her up at 14 in occasion.. . .-= Keith Rispin´s last blog ..Just Say No (Part 4) =-.

What a great article– one of the best researched and enjoyable ones I’ve read on rearing a child I’ve ever seen. It’s been decades since my parents have held me, especially since I’m too fat to be picked up now!

I’m so glad to be hearing from people who think this is a good thing. I’ve read and heard others say they want their kids to walk solo as early as possible. Now that both my kids are over 5 I get a little misty when I think about how I used to be able to carry them with one hand but because I can still lift them and hug them a lot

Great post! I agree 100%.

We carry our girls everywhere. In fact, we rarely use strollers. We just prefer to have our girls in carriers or in our arms – close to our hearts, close to our conversations. This “season” of parenting is indeed short.

Native Momma, That’s what we did too. We used a sling for our boys. I think you just made my point about the time-out question. It’s not that we punish our kids that’s the issue, it’s the attitude we have while we do it. Thanks for another visit!

good point, mom. I think it’s just as rewarding for parents as it is for kids. Keeps us sane and focused on what’s most important.
