[quote=Anonymous]Pre-COVID, my 14 yo DD was a camp aide at the National Zoo. Since there was platform work at the Springfield and Van Dorn metro stations, she took the shuttle bus to the Pentagon and made the rest of the journey by metro. I did practice the route with her a couple of times and we talked thru scenarios. I loaded up a Starbucks card for her so she could err on the side of arriving too early and get herself a drink at Starbucks until she had to report in. I didn't, not even for a moment, think about driving her anywhere but the closest metro. Knowing how to use public transportation is a lifeskill. It was good, low risk practice and confidence building. I'd teach your DD to use it and let her experience real life with little risk.[/quote]
