     One of my grandsons would run in the street if you were not holding his
     hand or watching him like a hawk. He just didn't think...As he has
     gotten a little older [he will be six] and in school, he is much better.
     He realizes that he could get hurt. But it was very scary for awhile.
     He is ADHD and is on medicine and it seems to be helping him to control
     his impulses.
