Suspect it's for safety reason given the paps being around. Plenty of celebs do the same.
If anything having the paps around makes the kids safer. Who's going to grab them with 20 cameras around? And if it is to comfort the child, just don't call the paparazzi? I'm not saying that all celebrities are doing it, but what about the celebrity kids who go about their lives without being photographed. I think toddlers are being carried so that the parents look hands on.
I wasn't thinking someone grabbing the kid as much as the kid getting caught up in the pap mob. But you're right, if they stop calling them they'd have no problem. In the events where they do just show up, I can imagine it being a frightening experience for a child.
In some African cultures parents carry their children on their backs until they're about three... And although they start walking a bit later than American children (or Japanese! there, parents move their babies legs in walking motions from a very young age, these kids are even younger when they learn how to walk) these kids end up perfectly fine! I can imagine wanting to carry your kid when swarmed by paparazzi.
I think it a practical thing too. Kids walk much more slowly than their parents and get very distracted (ohhh, look at that piece of trash on the ground, I need to pick it up). So, letting them down to walk would just prolong the period that they are being bombarded by strangers snapping photos of them and yelling things. I would totally carry mine if there were a bunch of paps around to minimize the time they were exposed to that.
I work(ed) with toddlers for about 2 years and I always wanted to carry them. They weren't eeven my kiddos! Some people just like to snuggle their kids. Nothing wrong.
Your comment reminds me of this Misha Collins video where it take 2 hours to get to the store with his toddler.
Oh my gosh this is my life right now. Although I have two of them! The taking off of the shoes, the weird staring at people. It takes forever to do anything. I love Misha Collins in supernatural!
everyone doesn't call the paps though... and what other celeb kids in the California area don't carry their kids? Halle carried Nahla forever, VB used to carry her kids, Bey and Jay carry Blue most times.
But Kourtney isn't that level of celebrity. Maybe Kim but not Kourtney. How do you explain that the paparazzi find them almost everywhere & are already there and set up.
I think Kourt is a walking storyline with Scott. He's a disaster waiting to happen and the paps always think there is a chance that Kourt could be with Kim. Now trust me, I'm not saying that they have never called the paps! I'm saying that her holding her children for whatever reason is ok to me.
