Tips for parents
- Name the places in Spanish as you pass them on a walk: bakery, pharmacy, library.
- Let your child do the talking at a pretend market stall at home, using the polite words from the song.
- Say the road-safety words at every crossing: stop, look left, look right.
Questions parents ask
- Is the road-safety song a replacement for teaching road safety?
- No, it's a helper. It gives your child a short rhythm to repeat at every crossing — stop, look left, look right, wait for green — but holding hands and practising on real walks still matter most.
