      My nine-year-old daughter has walked to school almost every day of her school life and each morning the same crossing guard Ms. Leslie is there to help us safely cross the street. She and my daughter always have a kind hug. My daughter runs to her, they hug, lock eyes and Ms. Leslie holds her tightly and makes her a round with the “STOP” sign in one hand. Once a neighbor driving her three children to school told me they felt lucky when they got the chance to witness this. They all shared in seeing the joy shared between these two. 

               This morning after watching them and having crossed the street to the other side, I said “That looked

like so much fun and can I have a hug too?” Ms. Leslie             

     smiled and we hugged a full five seconds. I could feel our skin touching neck to neck and sense her heart beat. We didn’t lock eyes but we did allow our hearts to connect. I got a little teary when she looked at me and said “Thank you so much. It gets hard out here some days when drivers can be so rude. “

               As we walked away my daughter wrapped an arm around me, connected with my eyes and just smiled, full of love, as if to say “Mom, now you know. “ And I knew then with my heart the power of a little hug. I’ve been delighted in the warmth of that hug through an hour of thick morning traffic. Thank you Ms. Leslie and my little one. It provided you a chance to notice an opportunity to share a little heart hugging energy today.

          Like the possible dangers around the home, getting on the school bus can also bring its own set of dangers. There are several important safety measures that parents should be aware of when it comes to bus safety. 

 Parents should always make sure that someone is taking charge of children at the bus stop to make certain clear ground rules which are in place and are being followed—particularly rules that forbid horseplay in and around the street. 

            Teach children to ask the bus driver for help in picking up anything they may have dropped around the bus, as children getting dropped articles are often hit by the bus or another vehicle because they are not seen by the bus driver or by oncoming traffic. 

           Children should be asked to take five large steps away from the bus when they get it off, and make sure that the bus driver can see you and look you directly in the eyes to signal it is OK to cross the street. It is still very important that children also look both ways as they cross the street. 

Inform children that they must never speak to any stranger who talks with them first and that they must never accept a ride from any person unless their parents tell them directly that it is OK. Teach kids that adults should ask other adults for help, not kids. If an adult asks a kid for help, that child should get another adult. 

           If for any reason a child feels uncomfortable or unsafe at the bus stop they need to bring it to a parent’s or caregiver’s attention. 

              Remember, planning ahead is always the best safety measure. Follow these rules and your family will be off danger!
