Dear Tim, I heartily recommend that you do not personally teach her. My observations of parents teaching children to drive is that both parties strongly tend to get overexcited, which interferes with the tuition. It may help to remember that your own parents managed to let you leave the house in a death machine. If it doesn't make you feel braver, it may at least give you some empathy for what they went through. Remembering your own actions at that age may not be comforting. But the fact is that the great bulk of teen drivers do survive into adulthood. Yours, David |
