National may be coming to a close, but supporting a new driver doesn’t stop when they earn their license.
The first year behind the wheel is an important time for teens to gain experience and develop the judgment they’ll rely on for years to come. Parents and caregivers can help by continuing to set expectations, talk through challenging situations and encourage safe choices every time their teen drives.
Keep the conversation going beyond this week. The guidance and example you provide can help your teen build safer habits that last well beyond their first year on the road.
