Keep an eye out for kids at intersections and cross walks, especially near schools. n Obey school zone speed limits n Never pass a stopped school bus, even if it does not have its stop sign out or lights flashing. Children could still be getting on or off the bus and crossing the street. A new school year means new supplies, being reunited with classmates, and meeting new teachers. And while we are all just as excited for our kiddos as they are to embark on a new school year, it is very important to talk with your children about potential injuries and how to avoid them. Helpful reminders include: n Obey all traffic signals and rules. Whether your child is riding a bike, walking, or riding the bus to school, make sure to go over all the rules of the road, including always crossing at a crosswalk. n Practice school bus safety. Never cross in front of a school bus without first making eye contact with the bus driver and waiting for his or her signal. Stay out of the street and arrive at the bus stop early to avoid having to run, and never stoop to tie your shoes or pick up a dropped item in front of the bus since the driver will probably not be able to see you. n Never walk in between parked cars. Even if you can see a car coming, they can’t always see you. Just as we remind our little ones about safety, we must also remind ourselves to be just as cautious on the roads. Always remember: n Train your brain to look out for kids. Pay attention to the bus stops in your neighborhood and n Look twice before pulling out of a driveway and never rely solely your car’s backup camera or sensors. Small children won’t always be on your car’s radar, so make sure to double check your blind spots. n Don’t be a distracted driver. Drive as if your own child were at risk: stay off of your phone, keep your eyes on the road, and pay attention.
