Crossing the road

I should say that the school run is not just about driving.

Once the car is parked the children must be taken to their relevant playground.

Before this point, the children have to learn about road safety too. It is hard sometimes to keep their attention but they realise when I say stop they must stop. We then wait for all the cars to pass and safely cross the road.

I suspect the school will at some point teach them about the Green Cross Code (remember that?!) but I think the earlier we expose them to the dangers of crossing the road and how to cross safely the better.

My passengers are well behaved (most of the time) but it is nice to know that they are happy to (and must) hold my hands when crossing the road.
