To make DD 4 walk home everyday from school

It's around a mile, up and down hills- takes us around 30 mins with her sort of jogging at times to keep up.

We take her in the car in the morning as have a 2yo as well so getting out for 8.15 is bit of a nightmare! Have tried this, walking to school but it is mainly up hill and I'm shattered, never mind DD

DH reckons its too far for tiny legs and she does say she's tired and why don't I pick her up in the car.

Any ideas? Or do we continue and hopefully she will get used to it.

Many thanks

Xx

I'm all for kids walking- good exercise and all! But if the poor wee soul's got to jog for part of it, I'd get a buggy board. Or a scooter?

It would be good for all 4 year olds to do it.
