Parenting Contract for Teen Driving

Monday May 7, 2012
With one teen driving in our home and another wanting to, I thought I would share a parenting contract with you all for teen driving. It includes tips from my how to set the limits on teen driving article and it's worded as a win-win situation for both parents and the teen driver. Be sure to use the 'print this page' link to print out. Even if you don't want a contract with your teen, it will help bring up some talking points about safe driving. Let me know if it is helpful for you and if there are any other parenting contracts you would like to see.
