How do I help my 8 year old stay safe when walking home from school?
<|assistant|>
One way to help your 8 year old stay safe when walking home from school is to establish a routine and make sure he/she sticks to it. You and your child can come up with a plan together of who will pick them up and the safest route to take. It's also important to encourage your child to stay aware and alert while walking. Have them check for cars before crossing the street, stick to well-lit areas, and if possible walk with a buddy or group. Lastly, be sure to communicate with your child about the risks of strangers and what to do if any threatening situations occur.
