My kids saw a dead frog last summer and it is very vivid in their minds that that is what happened to him.  I have not had anyone running in the road since then.  ;)

 

Also, I was studying for a trauma course last month and my son looked at my textbook (ITLS) - there happened to be horrible photos on a page of a trauma patient and he asked what happened.  I replied that this person had not been wearing his seatbelt and was terribly hurt.  Since then, my son has been very conscious of seatbelts/car seat protocol before the vehicle goes into drive...

 

It feels sort of drastic, but they both just sort of happened without me going "SEE!  THIS is what happens!".

Dramatic, but apparently it made a huge impression on her. She never ran in the street again, and she remembered this 20 years later.
