Walking and biking are healthy ways to get to and from school and can contribute to the recommended 60 minutes of physical activity kids need a day.
Q: How old should kids be before biking or walking to school, and what are some tips to help keep them safe?
By walking with your children to and from school, you can help them learn the neighborhood, teach them about traffic signs, street signs and directions, and model correct behaviors when crossing streets. It's also a great opportunity for some chat time with your kids. — Consider starting a walking school bus by inviting families in your neighborhood to walk children to school together as a group. Adults can take turns walking with the group, so make sure each child knows the adults in their walking group.
— Explain to them that it is not safe to use a cellphone or text while walking, which makes them less aware of traffic.
