Curious about the road awareness. I realize that I might be asking you to write a book ... sorry ... but do you have any tips for the kid's future? Although from what you write, it sort of sounds like one would tell the child exactly what one would tell any child ... "look both ways before riding through the intersection", "get visual confirmation before changing lanes", and so on ... just with a little more emphasis since he will be unable to identify direction just from sound.

Are warning sounds troublesome for you? That is, I would think that you would hear a honking horn but without being able to identify the direction, it might not provide much information.
