Q: A new study says that your kids shouldn’t do this until they are 14 years old?

A: cross the street alone

 

According to a new study out of the University of Iowa, your kid shouldn’t cross the street alone until they’re FOURTEEN.

The researchers say until they get that old, they don’t QUITE have the motor skills or visual judgment skills to cross a street perfectly safely.  Yeah, even 12- and 13-year-olds can have a little bit of trouble judging car speeds.
