Teaching your teen to drive requires considerable patience, empathy, and the knowledge of what is needed to best prepare him/her to become a skilled, responsible driver. Many parents approach this task with trepidation and high anxiety.
There are many great articles available about how to proceed. Our top recommendation is to NOT skip a formal driver education class. Face it, it has been awhile since you completed driver education, and although you are a great driver you can't remember every detail to prepare your teen. And ... times have changed. Teenagers today have more distractions, more traffic to contend with and faster vehicles.
#1 Tip - Register your child for Driver Education Training
#2 Practice, practice, practice. Spend time with your child having them behind the wheel. Be patient and remember to let them take the initiative. If they aren't pushing to drive they are probably too nervous. That's ok - let them have time to mentally prepare themselves. You will both know when they are ready.
#3 Be a great role model. Although you may think your teen is staring out the window or at their phone, they are aware of what you are doing. As always - practice being a defensive driver. Stay off your phone. Wear your seat belt - Every Time, Every Trip.
#4 Play "how do I get there?". Ask your child for directions while you are driving. This is a great game to play in the pre-teen years and gives them the confidence once they are behind the wheel that they aren't going to get lost ... at least not every time.
#5 Make sure your driver is set-up for success. Being a successful driver includes following all of the rules of the road and being a conscientious, defensive driver but having the right tools is also important. How will they handle a flat tire, running out of gas or a dead battery? Help your student be prepared. A membership to AAA wll give both of you the peace of mind when you aren't there.
