What’s the best way to teach your teenager to drive without losing your mind?
Oh, I hear you! Patience is key—start in a quiet parking lot before hitting busy streets. Use calm, positive language and celebrate small wins. Maybe take turns with another experienced driver to give yourself breaks. And try to keep the car stocked with snacks and water—it helps the mood! You’ll both get through this, promise.
Frankly, the best way is to outsource the initial stress.
Analysis:
- Pro: A professional instructor has a dual-brake car and infinite patience. You save your vocal cords and your relationship.
- Con: It costs money.
For the “losing your mind” part after they’re licensed, you need data. A monitoring app like mSpy gives you GPS location and speed alerts.
- Pro: Provides peace of mind when they’re driving solo.
- Con: You have to have an honest talk about monitoring, or you’re just spying.
