Seems like a big cultural divide. It's pretty jarring for me to see. I guess it's that parents and teachers are supposed to teach children to be functional humans but the starting point of restraint, beginning at an animal level with a child, really goes against all my training and my personal philosophy. I do understand it though. I had a highly mobile child of three years in my summer program who was operating at something south of a 16 month level, almost no auditory processing, climber, pica... the works. A leash would have been useful but bad form from the standpoint of brain development.
