Nearly two months of commuting with my daughter to kindergarten. I was initially skeptical of taking public transit with a 5 year old, but it's turned out to be the best thing ever. On the train she's always alert and engaged with her surroundings. She likes counting the stops to our station and I occasionally have to remind her to hold on as the train moves. If it's crowded, passengers are usually cool and will give up their seat for her. Here she is wearing my hat.

Huh. I was taking public transit alone since I was 7, why were you skeptical?

That's awesome! I was concerned about her safety and how she would behave. I'm paranoid she's going to fall onto the rails because she likes to run around the platform. And one time we were walking down the station stairs during rush hour and she asked if we could stop for ice cream on the way home. I said no and she started to throw a tantrum. We were holding up the people behind us so I had to pick her up and carry her down. But overall it's been a great experience and I think she's becoming a train pro!

Ah, I see, it's easy to lose control, but I would think it's the same in other public places as well 🙂
