My customers have wonderful and important things to say, sometimes shocking, always moving. But one thing I hear consistently is that my customers are housebound with their child and will remain that way until they receive their harness from me. Some parents have not been able to take their child on an outing for literally years.
Think about what that means for the child and for the parent. For the sake of a harness, they have not been able to take their child for a walk, go to the park, go shopping, do their errands with the child, NOTHING!!! They find me on the internet, they order a Child-to-Adult Harness and their world changes completely. Even today, one Mom told me "I am excited because I hardly take my son anywhere. Because he doesn't stay seated and runs away this will be such a blessing Thank you Elaine". When she receives her harness, her world will change for her and her son and she knows it.
A few years ago a lady called me from New York. She had seen a woman using one of my harnesses and she ran after her to ask where she got it, hence the phone call to me. She told me she could only leave the house with her 12 yr old son if she had her 2 sisters and her Mom to help. Four adults were need to watch her son if she was to take him out in public. But with my harness, she'd be able to take him out on her own.
In many ways this blog is no more than a literary path between you the reader, and my customers who tell me things. I'm just the messenger passing along their comments and experiences, paraphrasing here and there and keeping it relevant.
Remember, don't shoot the messenger but if you are housebound with your child, you just might want to consider getting them one of my harnesses.
Baby Safety Harnesses. Child Safety Tethers. Special Needs Harness for larger toddlers and children-teens-adults with Autism, ADHD, Down Syndrome, etc. Safety Harness and Tethers to use with a Service Dog. A blog about Elaine, my business and other stuff.
I'd like to hear more detail on how it goes when people receive the harness. I'm sure there is some learning curve to get the older child adapted to using it. And, probably some great stories of the child enjoying being able to be out, etc.

Hi Cindy, Thanks so much for checking in! I was thinking up more blog topics last night and you've mentioned one of them. I'll actually be writing 2 separate postings; one that describes the learning curve for little toddlers and one that discusses the learning curve for the older children. You'll be surprised - I know I was! Thank you very much for reading and for your comment. E
