Parenting Tip # 208
Don?t feel rushed about granting driving privileges. Driving is not a constitutional right that every parent must grant on the very day a child is eligible for a learner?s permit or driver?s license. Some children are ready early; others are not. Insist on driver?s education through some type of formal instruction, and impose meaningful restrictions, such as speed limits, limiting him to specific routes and destinations, and enforcing a curfew.Parenting Today's Adolescent: Helping Your Child Avoid the Traps of the Preteen and Teen Years
