    My kids of 7 and 10 ride to school through the city (it’s about a mile away, but my daughter went to another school 3 miles away before.
    When we got to this new school, I rode with them for a month using different routes and shouting “look left”, “stop here”, as they weren’t looking. Once they were able to lead me to school and back without complaints from mybside for a few times, I let them do it themselves. We just take turns kicking them out in the morning to ensure they’re on time. It works, and they will grow into independent people.
    I was cycling wherever the fuck I wanted when I was a kid. I’m fine.
    For the context, we’re in Denmark, and I’m originally from Russia
