Kids across the country use songs and problem solving techniques to hone safe walking skills.
Children are some of the most vulnerable users of our streets.
With facts like this, it would seem that it's best to stay off the streets altogether. But less people walking means fewer prepared motorists, worsened pedestrian conditions, and more dangerous streets for everyone. Also, walking is an important form of physical activity that we cannot afford to lose. By instilling good safety skills in our children now - not only will they become better pedestrians but they'll learn to become better motorists when the time comes. And the best way to learn is by doing.
