When it comes to your child wanting to drive a car after they have turned 16 and be independent, it becomes your responsibility to ensure their safety, build their confidence and make them a responsible driver. Most parents step forward to teach their child or let the siblings help out but it is not the best alternative. Have you ever wondered if this training is enough to keep them safe when they are driving solo after they have got their driving license?
Research says that whenever a young learner learns a new skill, they adopt the techniques of the teacher and after few repetitions, it becomes their habit. Similarly if you are teaching your child to drive, they will adopt your driving techniques and if you have any bad habits in driving, they are likely to follow the same. You can only teach your child what you have learnt and lots of things might have changed since you learnt driving yourself. Driving is a life skill and as a parent you should therefore provide your child driving lessons from a trained professional driving instructor from a reputable driving school.
