In reply to JoeMiller. You have made the point I was going to add: It gives a little parent-child time that you can't get in the car—because you're watching the road (right?) and your child is iPoding or something. That little walk is a time to be together in a simple, daily ritual that will not only help you connect in the moment, but also create memories for the future.

In reply to Anne Triebert. When Hana was in grade school we used to park two blocks away and walk. A short walk, but it was a very nice little bit of time we had together before the day got underway. And I was able to avoid the carpool traffic madness altogether.

This brought back memories of an time when my son was in 5th and 6th grade. An arrangement was made with a mutual classmate that the boys would walk,about a mile, to his house and play a bit. Pickup on my part was later thus allowing the outdoor and social time for them. Not only did I avoid the “Line” but I often found them playing in the nearby park and joined it!
