Driver education is something many teens take for granted. After all, it’s assumed that they will be driving at some point, so it follows that of course they will receive driver education. And they will, hopefully. What I want to talk about today, though, is how they get their driver education.
In my experience, the things we earn mean more to us than the things we are given. When you earn something, you have a real experience to place on its value, rather than just a value that is told to you. I encourage you to give your teen an opportunity to really value their driver education by giving them a way to earn it. That doesn’t necessarily mean your teen has to come up with a way to pay for the whole course, but if your teen puts in some effort to earning the driver education, it will mean much more than if it is just given.
