Teaching Your Child To Be A Safe Pedestrian And To Prevent Injuries In The School Bus

One out of four people who dies in a traffic accident is a child under age 16 who is a pedestrian. Half of these deaths occur between 4:00 PM and 8:00 PM, when children are walking home from school and adults are driving home from work. Start teaching your children about street safety as soon as you begin taking walks together-each time you cross the street with your child can be an opportunity for learning. Don't allow your child to cross the street alone until he or she is at least 9 to 10 years old and has developed the judgment to cross safely. Here are some safety rules to teach your young pedestrian:

? When crossing the street, always hold hands with a grownup.

? Never run into the street; drivers can't see a small child over the hood of a car.

? Stop at the curb or edge of the road before crossing a Street; cross only at crosswalks or intersections. Obey all traffic signals.

? Listen and look for traffic-look to the left, to the right, and to the left again. (If your child is too young to know left and right, tell him or her to look "this way," "that way," and "this way" again.)

? Wait until the street is clear before starting to cross and keep looking both ways for traffic until you reach the other side.

? Never run in a parking lot because cars may be turning into a lane or parking in a vacant spot. Always look both ways before crossing lanes in a parking lot.

About 60% of American children use a school bus to go to school. School buses are generally a safe means of transportation but injuries can occur. Teach your child these rules to make the bus ride a safe everyday experience:

? Wait for the bus away from traffic and at least 3 feet away from the curb.

? Don't run to the curb when the bus comes; wait until the bus comes to a complete stop and the door opens before starting to board.

? Open windows in the bus only if the driver has given permission to do so. Always keep hands, arms, and head inside the bus.

? Don't distract the bus driver; he or she needs to pay attention to driving.

? When exiting the bus, move away from the bus immediately. Don't take things from or hand things to students who are still on the bus.

? Tuck in scarves and keep book bags and purses close to the body so they don't get caught in the school bus door.

? Once you sit down, stay seated for the entire ride. If your bus has seat belts, fasten yours right away. Push your bottom all the way to the back of the seat. If your child has to cross the street after getting off the bus, teach him or her to follow these additional rules:

? After getting off the bus, walk away from the bus and about 10 steps in front of it on the shoulder or sidewalk.

? Wait until the bus has come to a complete stop.
