We've always talked about the importance of road safety and done all of the traffic club books. Also look both ways before crossing etc.
BUT tonight my ds1 who's 7 was out playing with friends when a taxi sped by. Instead of jumping onto the pavement he stood in the road and it passed him by inches. But he didn't even flinch. I seen it happen as I was walking up to call him in. He knew I was there but it made no difference. I'm sure it wasn't bravado in front of the other boys, I think he just genuinely didn't think being on the road when a car speeds by is dangerous.
I'm at my wits end. He's been banned from playing on that road again. How do I explain how dangerous the road is? I told him I'm going to take him into a hospital to see car accident victims. He's told me to stop going on
What can I do?
