School bus stop etiquette: Watch what you say

There are little ears everywhere

Parents across our listening area will be reuniting with friends as they walk their kids to the bus stop for the first time in months. 

EarlyON's Jane Paul says it's important to remember that when you're catching up, that little ears are listening.  

She says parents are always modelling for our kids, so we should act how we would hope they would in social situations. 

Parents don't have control over every situation our kids will be in. That's why Paul says it's important to have ongoing conversations about what's appropriate. 

The other thing you can do when you're at a bus stop with your child and someone or a group is acting inappropriately, move out of ear shot if possible.
