Street Safety
Most kids get the idea that they can't cross the street without holding on to your hand. It's safety concerning driveways that may be the hardest part to teach. If you take your kid out for a walk in your neighborhood, chances are there are driveways every 100 feet or so. Small children have a hard time grasping the concept that a moving vehicle can be backing in or out of a driveway when they are crossing the driveway. It can be especially hard if your child likes to run ahead of you to push a cross walk button or make it to the corner first. While keeping up with them is the best solution, it's also important to keep an eye on what is going on up ahead. Remind them that cars can't see them and to be cautious when crossing in front of driveways. Also, point out cars along the walk that might be going in or out of driveways to further get your point across.
