Here are some tips you may want to consider for a successful experience.
Before your teens even start taking the steering wheel, you can teach them proper driving by being a good role model. They watch what you do in a vehicle, so whatever it is that you want them to learn, you need to show and execute first. For instance, you want them to practice safe driving and have their seatbelts buckled all the time. They won’t follow you if you don’t do it, become a good example.
Driving is a skill you can’t force someone to learn if they are not ready. If your teen has expressed the desire to learn driving and they approach you, then it’s time to plan on it. If they are scared or anxious, and they think they are not ready yet, it’s okay to wait until they are ready. It is could be dangerous to teach an anxious teen how to drive.
When you finally start teaching your teen to drive, make sure that you have a plan about where to go and what you are going to do. Set their expectations about the area which they will be working on, as well as the specific skills they are about to learn during that session.
