We do the same...checks before and boosts if he is under 180. Love that they are doing this. xoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895126112651188056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-127384516793565787.post-79629237504578598342012-09-22T12:24:03.879-04:002012-09-22T12:24:03.879-04:00Good for you! We have the same situation, we live...Good for you! We have the same situation, we live between 1 and 1.5 miles from all schools, so no bus for us either. During Spring/Fall-nice non freezing, cold, snowy, rainy, windy weather, my kids walk or ride their bikes. My DD is in 3rd grade this year and it's the first time she's walking without her older sister, who this year is at a different school, gets out 10 minutes later, and has a different route home. We do it much in the same as you, she checks her BG at 2pm, (they are out at 2:20), if she's under 115 she has a snack and comes on home, if she's under 80 she calls me and I go get her, if she's over 200, she does a correction. From this school, we are only 1/2 a mile or so, she walks the first 1/4 mile with a 1st grade friend and then the rest of the way either by herself or with my daycare kids if they are coming to my house that day. We live in a small community and there are several of our church members/friends between school and home that she knows she can stop off at if she gets in trouble and they know to give her sugar if she asks for it and to call me. She also keeps smarties and a juice in her backpack, along with her kit. So far, so good :) I do remember a time though, she was in 1st (dx'd in Kinder), her sister and their best friend were in 2nd, they were walking home and got about 6 houses away from our house, she felt low and for some reason didn't have anything in her backpack. The friend stayed with Kork on the side of the road, and big sister ran home, I hear her in the kitchen and came to see what was up, she says "Kork is low, I got her a water and cheesestick!" It was scary then, but kind of funny/sweet now, she was trying to be such a good big sister and help out, but had totally the wrong things to help. We've come a long way since then! I think after that incident was when we started putting smarties in the backpack and telling them to go to a neighbor's house, there are like 15 people we know between school and here. I'm sure your girl will do just fine, good for you for fostering independance!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785514225376460577noreply@blogger.com
