[quote=Anonymous]I've taught my kid never to enter an intersection until he either makes eye contact or is 100% sure the car is going to stop. Too many cars go through crosswalks in our neighborhood, even right next to the schools. I have never said "keep your head on a swivel," but I have mentioned always being aware of your surroundings. We've also talked about avoiding people who ask for help because "they lost their dog" or "don't know how to get to place A." Maybe the last one is a bit paranoid of me, but I feel like adults will never ask children for directions...I've been in situations where someone was asking me for directions then it got sketchy and I had to extricate myself (I'm a woman). My kid likes being helpful and unfortunately I've had to teach him to be a little more cynical living in the city. [/quote]
