Teen Driver Parent Tip #1 Slow down, drive safely -- you're being watched (by your kids).
You probably know by now that your kids aren't just influenced by what you say, but by what you do too. How did they learn to curse at the age of four? Daddy took the kids golfing and forgot to bring the earmuffs. Point being, the same principle applies with how you drive in front of your kids. Any poor or reckless driving habits exhibited in front of your teen are a tacit endorsement of bad driving. When you have your teen driver in the car, remember this: Drive how you would want them to drive if you weren't in the car.
