kids and road safety

[Saila]

hello

i have a 15mnth old son and i'm irrationally afraid of him running into the road (at any age) and being run over.

That dreadful accident (thoughts are with the family) has made my anxieties come forward again

what useful methods do people use to reinforce this message with their children?

am i overly worried and once kids get to a certain age they generally understand about the dangers and i should relax more

any helpful tips or advice?

thanks in advance

transport for London has a program where they give you free tools (books, stickers and things) to teach road safety. The children's traffic club www.trafficclub.org, its for 3 to 4s but you could get some ideas.
