...because she ran out on a road today and thought it was funny. She is normally so good in terms of road sense. We used to insist on holding hands at every road but because she's got the hang of it, I don't insist on it at every road, only the busy ones. The road she ran out on today was a side road but still gets traffic from the busier main road.
I made her wear reins all the way home which she hasn't worn for maybe a year and she threw tantrums about it the whole way home. I hope this is enough and it gets through to her. I just had a chat with her at bedtime and she wasn't getting the fact that if a car knocks her down she won't just get a sore head or a sore arm and then wear reins home.
I tell her that the car will squash her but how can I tell her its more serious than that or do I even need to? She hasn't even seen a spider get squashed so I can't explain it to her like that. Any ideas?
Just the thought of it makes me feel sick.
