Keeping Your Teen In Proper Alignment

According to the National Center for Health Statistics, motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of deaths for 15-20 year olds. But thankfully there are things you can do to prevent your kids from becoming a statistic.

The driving experts at AAA offer some great advice for you and your family, to help your teen develop important habits they need to stay alive when they drive.

  • As a parent, you can be a positive role model with your own safe driving behavior.
  • Give your teen plenty of practice time driving with you.
  • Eliminate distractions like cell phones, eating, drinking, or music.
  • Create a parent-teen driving agreement that establishes clear rules, expectations and consequences for driving behavior. This helps to remind your teen that driving is a privilege, and not a right.

Check out the AAA site for more tips on how to help your teen become a responsible driver, including a downloadable copy of the parent teen driving agreement.

keep yor teens in alignment…LOL, can this God given task be done without hog-tying and nuggies?lol. The best advice is to remember” you” - yourself as a teen, and go from there…..add ten pounds of paitence and plenty of fortitude and God given endurance!.:).Good luck and God blessing, I hope they aren’t as bad as you were as a teen ..towards your parents….Lets undo the curse…(Ihope your kids treat you worse than you are treating me) remember that one? how bad were we, I can understand the curse. brother bear slippy spits while wrestling in kitchen while dinners cooking… we were sooooooo bad.I’m scared of the mother given enodledgement(sp)to give a bad curse for this…..or is it actualy .a .goodness of life reality and fun. Mamma never complained,just treatened….awe…she loved it and misses us all terriably,now.!
