Walk
your young child to the bus stop and have older children walk in groups.
There is safety in numbers; groups are easier for drivers to see.
Practice
good pedestrian behavior. Your children should walk on the sidewalk;
if there is no sidewalk, they should stay out of the street.
If
they must walk in the street, they should walk single file, face traffic
and stay as close to the edge of the road as they can.
Tell
you child to stop and look left, right and then left again if they
must cross the street. They should do the same thing at driveways
and alleys. Exaggerate your head turns and narrate your actions so
your child knows you are looking left, right and left.
