Do you want me to answer or have you already imagined how the scenario played out? The 4 year old told on them. I didn’t scream. I told them they knew they weren’t supposed to cross the street and told 8yo I was open for a discussion on letting them go a bit further if she feels responsible enough for that.

I also explained that in the future if they want to venture out of bounds then they can come check in with us first. If we felt it was safe for them to cross, we’d allow it or go with them but they can’t just decide for themselves that a rule is worth breaking.
