At age 4, we started with the first tries for street crossing too. I remember the turning-the-head-left-and-right phase, and it required some practice to figure out when they detected moving cars reliably. One advantage that we had was that there is no pass-thru traffic on our local road and it is used by local residents only. Also, my sister, with her daughters, lives across the street so the benefit was higher. Overall, the steps described by Jeff are close to what we did. And as Jeff explains, if things don’t work yet, you have to wait. All children are different, and as Jane writes, e.g., shortsightedness can make things difficult.
I completed the translation of the steps for roaming in the Google Sheet of our child development plan (see tab “Roaming.”
The Google sheet CDP is really interesting: particularly keen to see the development of the sleep tab—sleep records/routines for the whole family could be fascinating over time.
Get in touch with me via direct message. The data is scanned but in German and not exactly easy to analyze, but I might be able to answer some questions, or we figure something out.
