[quote=Anonymous][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]

Not necessarily inappropriate imo, but maybe ineffective. My mom was a pediatric ER nurse and loved to try to scare me straight with horror stories of her patients. Just made me think she was morbid and dramatic.[/quote]

I always try to point out to my kids the people not coming to a full stop before turning or how when we are crossing in a crosswalk the person making a left on green has a green light and might not be thinking of a person crossing so you need to watch for the turning cars and see if they see you.  The kids all learn to look left right left before crossing a street but I don’t think they all learn to watch for turning cars.  We also say that while you have the right of way in ways crosswalk, it’s more important to be alive than to be right so check for cars even if you have the right of way.[/quote]
