Walk This Way When we think about talking to our kids about pedestrian safety, we typically think of our 5 to 9 year olds. But you may be surprised to learn the most at-risk age group for pedestrian injuries is teenagers. With approximately 75 percent of 12-17 year-olds owning cell phones, it's important to talk to your children about putting mobile devices away and paying attention when walking, especially around traffic. One in five high school students and one in eight middle school students cross the street while distracted by electronic devices. This includes texting, talking on the phone, playing games, and listening to music. Putting down your mobile device when crossing the street can be the difference between life and death. So remember to talk to your children, including your teens, about pedestrian safety and ask for a Moment of Silence. http://www.safekids.org/video/video-moment-silence.
