Читать книгу 'Can I Borrow the Car?' How to Partner With Your Teen for Safe Driving - Susan Boone's Tordella - Страница 4

Below are a few anti-accident habits you and your teen can start adopting through practice. That’s how we absorb new habits – by:

1.Recognizing the need to change;

2.Refraining from the old way of doing things;

3.Reminding ourselves to implement the new habit through practice;

4.Reinforcing the change; and

5.Reflecting on the vast improvement.

This takes time, awareness and commitment. You will adopt the new habits if you gain the support of a group over a period of three weeks (the minimum) to 12 weeks (success highly likely). That’s the only way I’ve ever changed.

Teaching a teen how to drive depends on how you approach the relationship with your teen driver, along with expectations, trust, communication style, respect and connection. Despite the reputation of teenagers, you can use concepts in this book to nurture a close relationship that will ultimately keep your teen safer on the road and making better decisions in life.
