Teen Driving
Aurelia Williams, a mother of two teenagers, hosts the Parenting My Teen podcast (or internet talk show). She produces two shows each month on a variety of topics that are important to both teens and their parents. With just a click of a button on her website, you’re connected.
The other regular mom that Aurelia interviewed today is Eileen Buckholtz who runs the website TeenDriving.com, which is now the top-ranked teen driving site on the internet. With another click of a button, parents and teens can learn hundreds of tips from how to drive in traffic to how to buy a used car.
On Parenting My Teen, Eileen gave some great advice for parents whose teens are learning to drive. First, teach by example. Second, expect to spend about 100 hours driving with your teen so they can get experience and confidence. Third, expose your teen to all different driving situations, such as on country roads or on the highway. By keeping a log of these experiences, they will become more confident and you can focus on some areas that are problematic.
