As a parent, do you get worried about helping your teen to be independent? The following tips will guide you to teach the teen independence while keeping them safe:

Let them know you love them and will support them

 Aside from telling your teens that you love them, there are ways to show it to them. Examples of this can be showing interest in your teens’ hobby, showing interest in their friends, being interested in what they are doing and going through, giving them listening ear etc.

Their needs should be respected

 Even though your teens aren’t adults yet, this does not mean they should not be respected. You can respect their needs by granting them freedom of speech, by asking for their perception of crucial family matters and by listening to their opinions on matters generally.

Giving privacy (but setting boundaries)

At a certain stage of your teens’ lives, they will begin to feel the need to have their own space. This is natural, however, appropriate precautions should be taken. At this stage, it will be important to set certain rules, which serves as boundaries for your teens while they enjoy their privacy.

Examples of such rules can be permitting your teens to drive when they obtain their driver’s license. However, stating that things such as speaking on the phone, texting or driving under the influence of alcohol are unacceptable.

Know that they are no longer children

 As a parent, it is important for you to realize that your teens are no longer children. It is also necessary to give them orientation that helps them realize the world does not see them as children. They should be taught how to start behaving like mature adults.

Learning how to drive a car is something lots of teens can’t wait to do. Parents, on the other hand, are never excited about this. It is normal to feel anxious about your teen driving. This phase is quite normal.

Note that the risk of a car crash for a learner is lower than an experienced driver.

You can help your child by:

Planning ahead before driving lessons

If you plan properly, your teen will be a responsible and safe driver.

You can start preparing your child for this process when they reach early to mid-teen age. This is before the child is qualified to apply for a learner’s permit. Consider these factors:

  • How will she learn? Will you prefer to teach her by yourself or you prefer a driving instructor? Do you want a combination of both?
  • You should also consider the legal age requirement for learners. The number of passengers and type of car should be considered according to the requirements of your jurisdiction.
  • Ground rules on using the family’s car. Will the child be allowed to drive with her friends in the car after being licensed? Can she drive at night?
  • Car insurance. Check if your car insurance covers the teenager.

Be sure to inform your child that the process of learning to drive and being licensed to drive is the beginning of a lifelong learning process.
