Three strategies for handling teenage driving issues 1.Wise parents consider offering their teens “good guy” auto insurance. This means parents pay the premium based on teens maintaining a B average in school, achieving a flawless driving record, and in most states, having completed driver’s education. Then, if your teen gets a ticket or declining grades, you can respond with sorry, not anger, as you say, “Gee, what a bummer for you. Your insurance is going to go up now. How do you think you’ll pay for the increase?” 2.Wise parents do not buy cars for their teens unless their teens are responsible, nose-to-the grindstone young adults. Parents should buy a car for their teen only if the teen has demonstrated that he or she can handle the responsibility. And then the car they buy should be an old one. If the teen has an accident, the parents don’t have to get bent out of shape – only the car is bent out of shape. 3. Parents have the right to restrict who rides with the teen when the teen is driving. To learn more about Love and Logic techniques, visit www.loveandlogic.com.
