just wondering what different people do to teach thier toddlers about the street. any great books to read them?
i have tried using a big serious DANGER voice when he has run toward the street, but he doenst listen to that. i have spent some time standing outside with him , pointing at cars and explaining to him that they are dangerous, but he just gets excited and says "yeah! cars!"
i have made it a rule that we hold hands in every street and parking lots at all times, (or i carry him) and i point this out to him, that we are holding hands cuz its the street.
but none of this is really seeming to sink in (yet). i'll continue regardless, but i was wondering if there are other ideas out there for street educating.
my ds is 20 mos.
