Parents can also help by allowing the teen to gain extra driviing experience when he or she can drive with you, but discuss this with the professional who can tell you when the teen might be ready to drive with you.

The instructor should sit with you and work out a plan for your child and after every session, he/she should discuss the teen's progress.

The best thing to do for your child when you decide to let him/her learn to drive is to engage the skills of a professional driving instructor with years of experience. Like everything else, children learn from parents and how you behave and drive is what they will copy, so you need to set that example for your teen to follow. Parents also have an important role in helping teens practice their driving skills and develop confidence behind the wheel. So parents, my first advice to you, is to encourage and ask your teen to show responsible behaviour and respect for others if he or she wants to get that licence while in their teens and at home with you. This however does not seem to happen as many parents get anxious for their teen to start to drive or they give in to the begging and pleading to get a driver's licence.ĭriving is a big risk, it means that the teenager is going to have the responsibility of every road user that is on the road while he or she is driving and that is an enormous and scary undertaking for any young immature teenager. Teenagers who show irresponsible behaviour should not be allowed to get a driver's licence until some level of maturity and responsibility is seen.

Driving calls for respoonsibile behaviour, it is a privilege and not a right and every teenager that tries to get a driver's licence should be made to understand the ernormous responsibility that comes with driving a vehicle.
