When can my child walk to school alone?

The Vancouver Sun mentioned a website developed by Mariana Brussoni, a B.C. Children’s Hospital and UBC researcher, that aims to help parents let their children engage in more risky play.

The website can also help with the question of whether parents should let their children walk to school alone.

The story also appeared in The Province, Montreal Gazette, Saskatoon Star Phoenix, Regina Leader Post, and other Postmedia outlets.

In an interview with Tri-City News, Brussoni added that walking to school can help kids become self-confident and capable.
