Your guidance as a parent, not a driving school, will help instill safe driving habits for life in your teen. Model good driving behavior by always wearing a seatbelt, correcting your own unsafe habits, and being open to feedback from your teen. Plan specific driving routes to point out proper procedures for road markings and irregularities. Provide precise, immediate feedback and repeat maneuvers step-by-step if mistakes are made. Keep practice sessions short and focused on new skills.

The In-Car Training Experience Some Useful Tips for Parents YOUR guidance, not a driving school, not an online study-guide, will help immensely with instilling safe driving habits for a lifetime in your teen. Who knows, YOU may even become a better driver for it!
First, get rid of the parent and introduce the instructor within you. When you drive, set a good example to model. Always wear your safety belt. Try to correct any unsafe driving habits that you may have acquired; such as rolling through stop signs, accelerating through yellow lights, exceeding the speed limit. etc. You might even consider asking your teen to notice, and comment upon, any driving errors they think you are committing. Above all, TALK about them, if they have a comment. Dont fall back on the parental, I already have a licensejust listen to me!
Plan your drive, then drive your plan. Use a map, or Internet, to plan a drive, of short duration, that will have specific road markings or irregularities, Be sure to point out, during the drive, proper procedures for handling these. Know what you want to teach, before you set out. As a teacher once told me, Failure to plan, is planning to fail!
Reinforce the Training Feedback should be precise and immediate. If a mistake is made, repeat the maneuver taking the driver step by step through the process, and then allow practice without assistance. Have short, well-planned practice sessions. Thirty minutes is the optimum learning period for beginning drivers. The first 30 minutes of each one-hour session should be used to introduce and practice the new skills. Assess the childs understanding of the lesson objectives during the second half of the session. Set high standards and evaluate each driving session together.
