Have a new teenage driver? Recommend this highly!!

If you have a new teenage driver, I cannot recommend this experience enough. 2nd time around. Our youngest daughter’s turn today.

My daughter would be perfect for that training. I wish it were closer. It doesn't look like it comes down to Florida.

On a related and similar note, I have been a sex education instructor in this program after my daughter went through it. https://www.uua.org/re/owl

It is an amazing experience for adolescents and pre-teens

Thanks for posting.

I never thought I would be well suited as an instructor. But after my daughter went through it, they needed someone to volunteer.

Against my better judgement, I stepped up. I was surprised to find that I was actually good at it. Even more surprising, I liked it. it turned out to be one of the most rewarding things I have ever done.

I highly recommend it to any young parents.
