If kids are not yet ready to walk around safely in public, you need to train them at home in a safe situation now so that they can be in a more dangerous place later.

Children who are not yet prepared to navigate public spaces safely require immediate training within a secure home environment. By practicing in a safe situation now, kids develop the necessary skills to handle more dangerous locations in the future. This proactive approach ensures that they are properly equipped to walk around safely when they eventually enter public areas. Establishing these foundational habits at home is essential for their long-term safety and confidence in unpredictable external settings.
