My Daughter was easy. She had the physical driving skills early, so we worked on anticipating trouble, spacing, weather effects, driving defensibly, looking five cars ahead, etc..

Since Arden can drive, so we worked on the mental aspects of being a good driver. We purposely sought out the most difficult roads with the most traffic and drove them over and over.

My Son was difficult. His driving skills we weak in the beginning. We found the roads less traveled and drove them a bunch. When he was ready, we repeated the syllabus I worked with Arden.

Teaching kids how to drive requires time and effort. I told them both that they get to drive my cars when they pass my test, not the DMVs.

YMEV.

Excellent, Paul!
