Seriously, this is a very nerve-wracking time...when children are old enough to learn to drive. They do need a very good teacher...and if you'll be too nervous, then it's a good idea to get Driver's Ed. Training. They use to have it in the schools here, but now we have to pay for it. But, it's worth it to know they've been taught all they need to know for all the different circumstances they might find themselves in. Ingrid, once again, we have very little control....once they are knowledgeable enough, we just have to let go...and pray!!!

Scary!!! Very scary!!! Ingrid Some times children, at 16, are NOT mature enough to be driving; the best idea would be to wait til they are 18. But you're son is only 13, right Ingrid?? He still has 3 yrs. to mature and gain responsibility and the knack for good decisions and good judgement.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 ingrid why would you even want to attempt to teach your 13 year old to drive. Ever think he may take a vehicle behind your back when you are not actively supervising him. It may not be the smartest thing you could do with him cause kids his age are always cocky and always sure of themselves when in reality they make totally immature decisions. You could be opening a big can of worms. He is not legally allowed to drive at 13 and I sure as heck wouldn't risk this. Nonnie Re: Ingrid and aaarrrggghhhhh Thank YOU Larry!!!!

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Yes, we are nervous, but each time we go out, he improves. It is his next step, and we have to let go no matter how we feel. : ) janet Ingrid Lowe lowenco@...> wrote: Thank YOU Larry!!!! By the way, when you guys come for a visit and I work with your kids with the horses, would you work with my son and show him how to drive??? I know he is only thirteen but he can learn some now. I am terrified with the idea of showing him how to drive. I guess I do not have the nerves of giving a heavy vehicle over into his hands and then I have no control to stop the car. Are you not nervous with the idea that Nate will soon be handling such a big vehichle and going places that you have no control of??? Ingrid > > >> > I have alot of evasive doctors.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 It ain't easy. This morning when we went out, I couldn't help but yelp once. that makes him nervous too, so it is better to bite my lip, hard though it is.
