[quote=Anonymous]Are you in the walk zone? I'm assuming yes? I think it depends on the traffic in the neighborhood. Are cars generally aware that there are small children walking? How visible is your child? If you want to try it, I'd start by walking 5 feet behind your child and letting them navigate the intersections with you there, but not guiding. Then do the walk further behind them etc. Mainly to gauge that your child knows how to look for cars and knows how to cross streets safely, without you there. I'd think age 8/3rd grade would be fine. 2nd grade it may depend on the kid. 1st grade I'd still have an adult walk them.[/quote]
