Dear Queenie,
I live on a quiet street, but one neighbour drives too fast. The other day she nearly hit one of my children who was riding his tricycle in the street. Another neighbour stopped her in time and then came to tell what happened and said I should keep my kids in our yard or keep an eye on them when they’re in the street.
Queenie, we have a very small yard and I don’t like to keep my children cooped up like that. Who is right?—Worried mom
Dear Worried,
Your scolding neighbour is. If your son is still riding a tricycle he is too young to play in the street unsupervised, Be thankful that your scolding neighbour was there to prevent a tragedy.
