As is the case in most of the US, driving is a pretty important skill to have where I live in the Midwest. When my oldest turned 15 he took drivers ed at school, I taught him how to drive and he got his drivers license at 16. That was that.Oh, how simple that was. Now I have a kiddo who has taken drivers education at school, he’s had private driving lessons from a retired police officer, and both my husband and I have been teaching him for the last year, plus. And he’s just not getting it. He’s not seeing what he needs to see and his normally decent judgment flies out the car window. Every time he gets behind the wheel he nearly causes an accident, with yesterday being a really close call. I was able to be so patient with my oldest, but with this one it’s so stressful to even think about getting in the car with him at this point. I’m too young to repeatedly watch my life flash before my eyes.What do I do? I really feel like this is a life skill he needs, but good grief! Not at everyone else’s expense. Has anyone successfully navigated turning a bad driver into a good one? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2NxCWWy
