Child See Child Do.

Ten ways to help make your street child friendly....

1. Meet your neighbours: Say hello! Remember their names.

2. Introduce your kids in your street: Make sure everyone's got friends to play with.

3. Welcome newcomers: Make up a Welcome Pack with local schools, playgroups, child health centres, kids sporting clubs, music lessons, the closest all night chemist etc.

4. Show kids you value them: Ask for their opinion, send the kids you know a birthday card, - or just a note to say "well done" to celebrate their achievements!!

5. Involve kids in the life of your street: Help them organise a child friendly activity .

6. Exercise together: Organise a weekly walk.

7. Get the kids in your street to map your neighbourhood: Ask them to identify the places where they don't feel safe. And do something about it!

8. Care for your street: Hold a 'clean up your street' day.

9. Watch out for kids: Drive slowly!

10. Be generous with your neighbours: Share your time, Share your toys, Share your pets!
