Every parent is concerned about the safety of their child when it comes to their first driving experience.
It’s always a good idea to establish some ground rules. Drill the rules into their little heads and then make them sign a contract!
First and foremost, it should be very clear to your child that driving is a privilege and not a right. It should also be reiterated that education is a priority and if grades are not up to expectation, driving privileges will be suspended.
After laying down the ground rules, you should proceed and write your contract covering all the important points; like wearing a seat belt, never consuming alcohol, paying attention at all times, etc.
Don’t forget to have your child sign the contract and post it where he or she can see it on a daily basis.
This might not give you the peace of mind you were looking for, but it will be another reminder for your child to stay safe.
This is good to read as My Daughter will be turning
“Sweet 16” in June. We are already talking about her wanting to get her learners permit to drive. So I am open to reading and soaking in all the help that can come my way that I can lean on the help me make right choices and decisions as a Good mother.
I was reading some of the other articles about “Mother’s always know best“. I personal do not have that experience as my Mother gave me away when I was three for adoption. My adoption was a very abusive household and I ended up learning in Group Homes. So stability and love and trust in “Parental Roles” is not a good tool for me to rely on.
Being a Single Mother, I was not ready to have a child when I was gang raped by four masked men at gun point while I was serving in the Army. When I learned I was pregnant I could not abort the child, when I gave birth to my Daughter I could not give her away. So I vowed to provide a warm SAFE LOVING HOME in the best way that I could manage, and be availble to her through the good the bad and the ugly. it has been a difficult journey for the two of us. yet, it has been the most rewarding journey for as a Mom learning that I could break the chains of evil and and even though I experienced the hell of being abusedm neglected, rejected, falsely accused, and raped. I am still a a unique woman that deserves good in my life as does the Daughter I vowed to love and to cherish despite what life patterns I had grown through.
We have the Most awesome Mother Daughter relationship with deep respect, love and dignity for each other and others that chose to joing our journey. I love my Daughter and I am a Proud MOM. I am blessed to share that this year on Mother’s Day.
So the journey continues with planning for her future aspirations and desires. She is beautiful and a Delight.
Thanks for sharing your stories and allowing me to share mine.
Be Blessed, Be Inspired
Always,
