INTRODUCTION.
The idea of creating this folder arose from the need to create a
tool for the children and adolescents of the institution, that
orient the family life regarding the education of its members in
road safety, which allows everyone to take on their roles as
road actors and see to what extent their actions generate behaviors
desired or undesired, which notably influence the work,
how to respond and behave in the traffic environment and what roles
we develop each one. For this reason, we dared to take a
the thematic itinerary that serves as a starting point for parents and children to
achieve a minimum of behaviors that favor development
full and the scope of clear training goals taking responsibility
in the road environment creating basic knowledge of signaling,
behavior, prohibitions and violations and how to avoid bad ones
habits.
 ROAD SAFETY.
Road safety for children is essential to alert the little ones.
from the house and prevent any type of problem that could occur in public.
It must be taken into account that small children are very linked to traffic, whether as

motto, giving road education for children is
indispensable, not only to avoid
