Kids often cross the street in the middle of the block, where it isn't safe, so it is important to teach them traffic safety.

To help avoid accidents, it is important to teach younger kids to cross the street with supervision and to only cross at an intersection with a crosswalk or traffic signal. In addition, it is very important that your kids always look for traffic by looking left, right, left, and over their shoulder for traffic, and then continue to look while crossing the street.
