Reasons not to practice with your kids:
- I can’t believe My Baby is old enough to drive!
- What if s/he hurts my car?
- What if we crash and die?
- This is what I’m paying the drivers ed teacher to do, right?
- I’m too busy watching Netflix… ehem…doing errands.
Reasons to drive with your kids
- They need home hours to get their license, and I can’t bring myself to forge the sheet saying we did them.
- They have to practice for everything else, (soccer, piano, math,) so why would this be different?
- If I see them making mistakes, I can help them. I know my kid better than anyone, even if they won’t admit it, and I can figure out what they are thinking. Maybe they are worried about the same things I was when I got my license.
- I can give them some of my wisdom about where crazy people always cut me off, how stupid people are who don’t use their blinkers, where the big potholes are, and all my other pet-peeves.
- I really love them and want them to be safe. If I see them drive in every condition I can think of, and make them do it again and again, then I will know in my heart of hearts, that they will be able to do it correctly when I am not there.
Please practice with your kids
