Jordan Driskell, a 31-year-old father of five rambunctious quintuplets, knows firsthand the challenges of parenting in the public eye. With constant criticism from family, strangers, and social media, it’s tough to make decisions without judgment.
Determined to find a solution, Driskell introduced kid-friendly leashes to keep his curious five-year-olds safe and manageable in public.
The idea sparked controversy when Driskell shared a video of their aquarium outing, garnering 3 million views and mixed reactions. Some deemed leashes inhumane, while others offered unsolicited parenting advice.
However, parenting expert Dr. Deborah Gilboa disagrees. She advocates for leashes as a practical tool for young children or those with neurodiversity, promoting safety until they develop impulse control around age eight or nine.
Driskell’s story raises an important question: should parents prioritize their children’s safety and well-being over others’ opinions?
