Train Your Teen Driver To Be A Responsible Driver

Easy To Follow Instruction, Guidelines and Recommendations To Remember for Every Parent.

I remember as if it were yesterday, everything my wife and I went through and did when instructing and training our new teen driver son to how to drive a car.

Hello,

I'm Ray Attebery, President and CEO of Drive Safely Inc. Welcome to our web site...

There are things that your teenager “can’t tell you” about their relationship with your their parents and other adults outside school. But one central reality emerges when teenagers speak openly about their own behavior, emotions, and needs. Without exception, they desire the attention, caring, and support of adults in their lives, particulary their parents. They realize that without it, they cannot do as well at their task of growing into who and what they want to be.

As parents, we wonder how best to help our teens in school, in life, in relationships, etc., the message may be different from what most expect. Connecting with us as parents matters even more than school, young people say. Far more than they need our help with their homework, they crave our support as we navigate through life trying to determine their identity as they grow and achieve their independence as adults.

A driver's license to your teen is a giant step toward independence. It is quientisential freedom from the ties that bind...it is excilerating and at the same time it is the first time they enter into a world that statistically for them...is very dangerous! Driving a car on a highway. However, as a parent, coaching your teen how to drive a car is one of the major ways for you to connect with your teen in a number of meaningful ways.

I'm going to share with you what my wife and I did that worked, and for your consideration, what we think you should do to assure your teenager becomes a considerate and safe new driver. Up until the time our son turned 20, he was a great student, a great athlete, and even to this day, he has never had a wreck!! nor harmed anyone or anything with his car...and to this day..still hasn't.

We have a great deal of content on this web site so we recommend you take notes, get your notepad, and pencil! or open up microsoft word, and get ready to to copy and paste..you have our permission to do so...we just ask that you give us credit. A lot of information is about to come your way. The information and products on this web site will point out and give you the tools and resources you need to training your teen driver much more efficient, effective, easier and FUN!!!

What we did, wanted to do, learned to do and accomplished when we trained our teenage son to drive, you're going to experience, if you haven't begun experiencing it already.

At howtodriveacar, we just have the advantage being aware of what works and what isn't as effective since HOWTODRIVEACAR.COM is all about helping new or existing drivers to learn how to drive and particularly for you as parents, who must train your new teen driver how to drive. I was the Executive Vice President for TOP DRIVER a nationwide chain of Driver Training Schools and I have been there and done many times over, I can assure you.

First of all, you must make a commitment to driver education by sharing lots of hours (defined as hard work) on and off the road with your teenager, to insure your teen becomes a safe, courteous and cautious driver. Providing your teen accurate and meaningful driver education instruction and training is about your own personal commitment to quantity and quality time with your teen and that of your teen as well.

If your Teen Driver is to learn anything, driver education must begin with you...it is your responsibility, not the school, not the state, not the instructors.. simply yours. I don't believe I can say it nor can I make it any clearer than this. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE AND ACCOUNTABLE for your teenager in the eyes of the law. Your teen driver will get out of it what you put into it yourself as to time and resources for their driving instruction and driver training.

Here are a few pointers that you should remember when training your teen driver. Consider them as guidelines to live by as you progress with insuring the proper driver education training for your new teen driver. Understand that training teens to drive is not an art nor a science. There is no real right way or wrong way to train anyone. As Nike so admirably puts it..Just Do It!..however, we have a few BEST WAY methods we feel are more effective than others. It all starts with the attitude of your teen and your attitude. It must be a positive and proactive partnership between you. It is a time that believe it or not will solidfy the "ties that bind" many years down the road.
