Permissive Parenting
It’s a daunting task to pass over the keys to the family car to your newly licensed teen driving. As you encourage them to follow the rules, you hold your breath until you hear them returning to the driveway safely, in one solid piece.

To summarize, if you’d like to worry just a little less about your new to the road driver, and possibly reduce the chances of your adolescent being involved in an automobile accident, fostering an Authoritative Parenting Style is by far, the best way to go. Creating a loving and warm relationship with your child, and setting clear rules and expectations, will most likely get them home
