Tips for Parents

1:    When you drive, set a good example for your teenager.

2:    Have frequent, short, well-planned practice sessions (not more than 30 minutes before a stretch break).

3:    Patience is the name of the game. Try to be calm and relaxed to instill confidence.

4:    Never assume your teenager knows what you want them to do.

5:    Give all directions well in advance of the maneuver.

6:    Give all directions clearly and calmly. i.e.: "At the next intersection, turn Right."

7:    Help with steering in advance of trouble.

8:    When braking is needed, inform the student early.

9:    Make positive remarks frequently.    Reward success with pride.

10:    Advance to more difficult situations only at the comfort level of both the new driver and the parent.
