SAFE, AFFORDABLE, AND DEPENDABLE 

​​​ELITE SCHOOL OF DRIVING 

The success of our students depends on a successful partnership between our students, their parents and our instructors.


Here are a few suggestions  to help implement a parent-teen care use agreement:


Be an example - behavior is learned, it is not innate.

Be clear - explain the rules, listen to your child's point of view and emphasize the consequences of failure to follow the rules.

Be positive and emphasize - your concern for their safety, your expectations for responsible behavior and driving is a privilege, and a reward for responsible behavior.

Be vigilant - check your vehicle before and after each use for tire damage and misuse, fuel levels, mileage usage, vehicle damage and any signs misuse.

Be prompt - act promptly if there is a breaking of the rules, delaying consequences can be perceived as a sign of weakness.

Be firm - do not negotiate consequences for breaking the rules, do not change your mind, do not cave in to an uproar.

Be consistent - both parents need to provide a united front on issues, do not allow yourselves to be divided, and conquered.

Be fair - get all the facts before you take action, let your child know that other children are also using the parent-teen agreement, and they are not being singled out.

Be gentle but firm - let the contract do the talking, express disappointment when the rules are broken and your power lies in the enforcement of the agreement.

Be flexible - listen but don't bargain

Be in control - be alert for games and peer pressure.

Be forgiving - love is unconditional, the contract provides for withholding privileges, not withholding love.
