I have always tried to involve the kids when crossing the roads on the school run. They are quiet side roads so nothing too busy. All the school kids I have are boys, one will be looking at the floor, another one shouting to his mate over the road, another one gazing up into the sky....it takes about 5mins to get everyone actually looking at the road....:rolleyes:
I have started asking each one in turn if its safe to cross. Most are really good at letting me know when its safe but one boy in particular whose nearly 8yrs, has a quick look each way and then says it's safe...there's usually a car coming...:rolleyes:
This morning I said...'is it safe to cross J?' to which he looked at the sky and said yes Becky....:laughing:
Argghhhhh...patience of a saint needed....its hard work :)
