Moms Talk Q&A: Walking Alone to School

Moms Talk is a new feature on Beverly Hills Patch that is part of an initiative to reach out to moms and families.

Each week in Moms Talk, we'll pose a question and ask for your input. Should you vaccinate your child? Yes or no to the flu shot? How do you talk to your children about bullying? What do you do to keep your children safe in cyberspace?

Mothers, fathers, grandparents and the diverse families who make up our community will have a new place to discuss the latest parenting hot topics, as well as issues pertinent to Beverly Hills families.

So, grab a cup of coffee and settle in as we start the conversation today with our first question. Please post your response in the comments section below.

How old should kids be before they can walk to school alone?

If you have a question you'd like to see discussed in this column, email the site editor at mariec@patch.com.
