[quote=Anonymous]At that age, either hold hands, be in stroller or get picked up. Geez at 18 months, he wasn't a great walker and could have fallen. Drivers around here would probably just run a kid over, rather than wait. I learned to hold my son's had so that part of my hand was holding his and part of my hand was sort of wrapped around his wrist, so he couldn't get away. Now at age 6, I only make him hold my hand if it is getting dark, its a really busy street or he is acting irrational (overly tired, over excited, clearly not thinking). But for the most part he can cross himself, but still has to wait for an adult to give him the go ahead. He knows to look both ways, but he doesn't always do a great job of it. At some point in between I followed the advice on here and let him hold onto something. I still make him do somthing to stay close in parking lots. My main concern is some cars can't see him. So if he is near me, at least they see me. [/quote]
