More kids catching a ride to school
Posted on Jul 16th 2007 8:00AM by Bethany SandersAs a parent, I think it's easy to see one of the biggest reasons for the declining number of "walkers" today: safety. But experts also say that busier family lives, convenience, and changing attitudes about exercise may also be coming into play. The National Center for Safe Routes to School is a group that's trying to address some of these issues and get more kids out walking again. If you want to encourage kids in your community to walk, consider taking part in International Walk to School Day on October 3rd.
