How many times have we heard from grandparents “in my day we used to walk for miles in the snow to get to school!”.
If you can, even if it’s a couple of times a week, try walking or riding to school, kindergarten, to get your bread/milk … and reward your child for not complaining with something healthy such as a frozen fruit and yoghurt treat on a hot day.
Kids often actually love spending this time with you – if it’s not too rushed – to talk, pick flowers, notice bugs and learn road safety all at the same time.
