The first time they ever used the bus to go into town alone I actually (unbeknown to them) followed the bus by car to make sure they got off it okay! Yet we must give them freedom. We cannot protect them for ever and it is only a tiny, tiny percentage of cases a year where tragedy strikes. I think we put them more at risk later on if we do not allow them to make their own way in the world a little bit now.Glenda Geehttp://wwwcutleryandcateringcouk.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
