    Yes.

     I walk a 15 minute mile. So, 4 miles per hour.If you take a child on a 4 mile walk, that is going to take hours and I think it is too much to ask of a young child.

    I wouldn't ask my child to walk that far.

    But, apparently hundreds of thousands of kids are doing it after Biden invited them to our county to receive free healthcare, a free education, free hand outs, free food and shelter, the right to vote When they are of age,  free vaccinations and $15.00 an hour if and when they get a job.

    you take a 4 mile walk then let us know if its a long way !!! remember a kid has a step 4 times as short as you do .!!!

    Depends on the child.  If they aren't active, then it's likely too long just like for an adult.  If they are active, it can be done without too much issue.  I went hiking with my kids at that age further than that.  They are slower than I normally would go, but keeping food and water in them they do just fine.  Having activities or interesting/fun stops along the way keeps their minds off the distance which is the biggest barrier.

    They are capable of it.

    But not in one large stretch. You walk that much at a zoo or theme park.

    You could do a hike if they rest and eat/drink along the way.

    Some kids at that age won’t be able to, while others will find it fun.

    Only if it's in the snow and uphill both ways.
