I hope it grows. That is one of the things I find most frustrating about the CR! No matter how many times or how well you try to explain something, it doesn’t do anything if people aren’t willing to be open to the possibility of listening and chasing their minds at all.
I hope nothing that I said could have been taken as offensive or critical. I’m just trying to understand the topic as it is a chiddush for me.
You did do a good job of explaining it. And using it while walking down the street (as opposed to in the park) certainly makes sense.
And I agree that 16 months is young to teach a kid not to run into the street. Anyhow, he can learn from observing his older siblings, since you are clearly not talking about an oldest or only child.
