That shows that you're intelligent and a good parent. Because that's what most people would do if they have very young kids.
But of course there are also many bad parents in the world, who let their kids do whatever they want. I saw a kid at Epcot kick a duck and his parents just stood there unabashed with goofy looks on their faces. It took a female stranger to say something to the boy and tell him what he did was wrong.
Thank you, however I don't think that makes me immune to a tragic accident. Kids - even well behaved ones - are impulsive. The parents in this sad story could have been helping child A and child B bolted. My kids have a history of following rules well. Doesn't mean today (or a Disney day) won't be the day they mess up and let impulse take over.
The duck thing....geez. I agree sometimes parents forget that family vacation does not equal abdication of parental duties. I am the kind of person who calls these kids out. Fair warning to duck kickers!!
