If a child is old enough to be crossing the street without an adult present (holding their hand), then they're old enough to be looking both ways before crossing.
That was a kindergarten lesson, and in my experience, those kids tend to be better about it than most people are when they're older.
If they're not going to do that, what is stopping them from just wandering into a road nowhere near a traffic light anyway?
- CalRobert 3y agoMy own child is a runner and until she was six or so it was honestly terrifying to go outside with her. I want to live somewhere letting go of a four year old's hand isn't a death sentence. Incidentally this is what Anne hidalgo says she wants for Paris and it seems like a useful heuristic.
