[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it appropriate to tell your 5-year-old about something like this? Mine has been good about waiting for me at intersections but I wonder if one day he's going to get a crazy idea and decide he can cross by himself.[/quote] Yes, but in broad strokes. “People can get hurt very badly and possibly even die if they get hit by a car. You have to be careful every single time you step onto the street, especially because you’re smaller than an adult and harder to see. You have to be extra, extra careful if it’s dark or raining because then it’s even harder for drivers to see you.” I taught my kids never to chase a ball into the street. Playing ends at the sidewalk. My teens still recite back to me “I can easily replace a ball, but I can never replace you.”[/quote]
