      I am a VISUAL Learner . . . That's WHY I WATCH Videos . . however, as much as I Love Cas , her 5-second-flash of each step is NOT Enough for me ! Therefore, I truly appreciate Your Written (Typed ) LIST of EACH STEP !.. If you don't mind, I'd like to take a Screenshot of it and PRINT IT OUT.. that way I can : Put it in an 8" x 10" Acrylic Photo Frame . Start by Standing it on My NIGHTSTAND ( read it first thing in the morning ; Last thing I read before bed ) ; Start with Decluttering/Organizing both Inside & Surface of Nightstand ( Satisfying & Motivating ! ) .. Carry "The List" to Each Room/Area ! Also, I can slip my Brain Dump into the back of Photo Frame ; as well as my Detailed Decluttering Plan for Each Room/ Section ( plus my REWARD [ ie : ☕ 🌹 📖 🛁 ] for Completing Each big 'Chunk' of my Goals ! Perhaps a Mini-Vision Board w/ Photos / Sketches to Keep My Goal in Mind : 🛋️ 🌹 🖼️ 🪑 🪟 🍃 . Another thought . . . I might try using " Write On,Wipe Off Markers" to Check ✅ Off Each Step / Task, as I Complete it . When I'm all Done, I can just Wipe It Off and it's ready for the Next Room ! Happy New Year !

    When my two boys turned 15-16…we hired someone else to teach them and believe me when I say that was the best WIN-WIN decision for all of us especially the boys. There was zero pressure on all of us. DO IT! You won’t regret it. Raising a teenager is hard enough without having to teach them to drive. 😊

      Same here! Find a good driving school and they'll teach her everything she needs to know to be safe, and to pass the road test. Best best best money you will every spend! Three seconds at the stop sign = tap your finger three times on the steering wheel before you move forward. Just so many little tips and tricks I would never ever think of! Then they'll re-teach you how to drive when they're in the car with you! lol

      Agreed! And in Ontario, they will get a discount on their car insurance (or you will when you add them as an occasional driver) for doing a ministry-approved driver’s ed program. They can also get their G2 at 8 mos instead of 12, meaning they will be able to drive on their own sooner. You can also pay for a one hour refresher class before doing the road test for the G2 and/or full G license, to ensure they know all the tips and tricks to pass with flying colours the first time!

      I hired someone to teach my son to drive as well. It was the best decision for my sanity. Unfortunately he isn't that great of a driver to this day. He has had quite a few accidents. 😔 Maybe he would have been better off if I taught him. I don't know. But for my sanity, it was the best decision.

  • @lgraps

    Great video, Cas! Key for us when our kids were learning to drive was to find a business park or industrial park with real roads, and go there on evenings and weekends when there's no traffic. You drive there, and then let her drive once you're there. So much less stressful than out in traffic right away! Good luck!👍🏻

      We are currently doing the exact same thing with our son. Practising parking in an empty business lot, three point turns in wide driveways, reversing into those driveways. There is housing right next to the industrial area so he can venture in there…narrower winding roads, parked cars, and a young girl on a bike adds to challenge! These quieter areas have really helped his confidence.

    We did a combo of driving instructions; both her dad and I (very different styles) and then she took a professional course. The course taught her a lot and even administered the final test. Just remember getting a license and gaining experience are two very different things. We are never Done learning 😉

    Thank you for these tips! They're just what I needed today! 😊 I am teaching my 4th child to drive, #5 is ready now, too! 1st step- have your child ficus on the center of the road, several car length ahead. Like bowling, or baseball and modeling on the cat walk, they're eyes will direct their hands! Focusing on the center of the lane will prevent "ping-ponging" from white line to yellow line! It will also keep them aware of all future activity ahead, such as cars entering the roadway, or squirrels darting into the road. If they are aware of their surroundings they can learn safer, quicker, and smoother responses! Also, warn against tailgating, and warn them not to depend on their brakes- in other words, start slowing down for stop light/signs, and slowing cars, sooner than later! If they see red lights ahead (traffic slowing for a red light) they should at least take their foot off the gas, giving you the idea that they are aware and preparing to slow down, easing your anxiety. It's the polite and responsible thing to do. Lol. Hope this helps!!

    • @annemariesamples5582
      @annemariesamples5582 ปีที่แล้ว

      Also, you can do this! Breathe, and remember you raise your child, you can trust them! Talk to them calmly, teach rather than panic. You got this! Message me, call me, I'll talk you through it!!!

      YES to teaching the importance of not tailgating!!! So many accidents--and deaths--could be prevented if people followed this one simple rule. It also helps reduce traffic jams, which is just good citizenship. ; - )
      I would add never driving in anyone's blind spot, staying out of the far right merge lane unless you're merging, and always checking the bike lane and sidewalk just as diligently as any other lane of traffic.
      All of that said, I definitely think Driver's Ed is worth the investment! ; - D

    My dad had us get in the car, get familiar/comfortable being in the driver seat. He then made us repeatedly drive forward and backwards a sort distance until we were use to the gas and how sensitive it was, practicing braking. It helped me alot, as once I got on the road, I was comfortable with the car itself. Congrats to your daughter and good luck!🙂

  • @Angela-ni8mo
    @Angela-ni8mo 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Teaching someone to drive is stressful; it requires lots of patience and presence and being calm and non-judgemental, regardless. Practicing in parking lots and on low traffic roads and streets are helpful. Information overload is another thing to be aware of. Providing basic instruction before even starting the car is essential; where everything is, how to use it, etc. Then, slowly build on the basics after each step is conquered. This will build her confidence, and your calm. Oh yes, and positive encouragement, as well. Good luck. 😊

    I sent both of my kids to a driving school in a big city where their grandparents live. We live in a small town and I wanted them to learn how to drive in real traffic. The school was excellent. They are both really good drivers. My son just got his provisional and can drive on his own now. Choose the school. I think they feel less anxious and less defensive about their actions, because they had a different teacher and not mom or dad. We still instruct when in the car, but you can then see the good decisions they have learned to make. AND if their driving still causes you anxiety, sit in the back and let your husband sit in the front (especially if he is calmer.) I would sit in back and close my eyes (wearing sun glasses) so I didn't make them anxious.

  • @francesniffenegger5605
    @francesniffenegger5605 ปีที่แล้ว

    Best advice I got from my dad on driving was it should be smooth, like a ballet. That means planning ahead to time things out so your not last minute trying to get lined up to merge you can already be lined up. Or easing off the gas when coming up to a stop.
    Lane transitions should be smooth etc.
    All of it means planning ahead and being aware.

    My daughter has a car fund and researched that 15 year olds who take drivers Ed can get their permit as soon as they demonstrate they’ve started the class and can pass the test. She paid for it! She was 15 and one month when she started with her permit and she couldn’t get her license in our state until she was 16 and 3 months so she had 14 months to practice and it was astonishing how much better she was just after the first one on one one-hour driving class with the instructor and besides something like 30 hours of study and tests, it included 6 hours with the instructor and the final driving test passing with the BMV…I recommend every parent find a way to do this for your child…find a reputable and well-referred school and it’s a real blessing!!

    I’m in Germany and here it’s mandatory to learn driving from a professional. They use special cars where the teacher also has a set of pedals on their side to brake in an emergency. There is a mandatory minimum amount of lessons you have to take, training you for specific situations, like driving on the highway (we don’t have a general speed limit on highways, so it’s very important to know how to behave there), driving in big cities, driving at night, etc.
    Going for a professional seems like a very good idea to me!

    Hi! I taught my daughter & most of my friends' kids to drive. I stay calm & engage the student driver in an easy pop-quiz on misc. driving laws & maneuvers (emphasis on EASY) to build confidence. I have found that the most successful strategy is to have a trusted adult friend, cousin, etc. practice with your kids. Most kids are much more relaxed with just about anyone else other than their own parents; I don't know why, they just are. Maybe they feel less likely to get "yelled at" or nagged by someone else, so there's less pressure. Maybe team up with other parents of student drivers and "trade", LOL!

So I went on the container store's website, for we don’t have one in my town & online shopping is the best, searching for the bamboo divider bin, not knowing it was a bamboo bin or what the name was exactly, needless to say, I found it and wow this has helped me at work in more ways than one. Thank you so much, you will never know how wonderful your website & videos help me. Still working on getting started in cleaning up my house.

    I was anxious about learning to drive. Having Mom in the car was terrifying. My dad would nag, but he was calm. (Ok, I missed the stop sign. If you keep talking about it for 10 minutes, I can't concentrate on the road) My brother was the best. He was very calm and told me things like "you're going to want to change lanes soon" or "do you see that truck sign? It's for the trucks but it also tells you that there are curves coming and that all the trucks might be slowing down". It's not legal for 2 teens to drive together alone any more, but my practice sessions with my calm big brother were the best ones!

    Thanks for this video. I hadn't realized that my perfectionism was blocking me from completing my organizing tasks but once you said that it made so much sense to me!
    Teaching Driving: The best thing we did to take the stress from teaching our 5 kids to drive was spending 15 minutes in the driveway practicing "go" and "stop" maneuvers. We would give one of those directions and the kid would move their foot to the gas or break peddle. We did this until they felt confident in their muscle memory in finding the right peddle and we saw they could react quickly. This really kept the stress levels down for both the parent and the new driver when we got out on the road.

  • @Midgee89
    @Midgee89 ปีที่แล้ว

    I didn't learn to drive until I was 20/21, and my dad was the main one to teach me, because my mom does this thing where if she thinks you're too close to something (this includes if someone who has been driving for years is actually the one driving) she makes this sound like she's sucking all the oxygen out of the vehicle and THAT sound alone makes whoever is driving jump more than the actual situation. So dad took over and my fiance (now husband) taught me to parallel park. We had to drive 2 hours away to take the actual driving test (because local DMVs were booked for out), so I made sure to pass the test on the first try. 🤣

    I have been teaching three teens to drive in recent months. I found it helped me a lot when I joined a volunteer driving mentor programme and received training on how to be a driving mentor (not an official instructor but someone who helps the teens get the practice they need). We did a road code refresher as part of the training and I was amazed how much had changed or that I had forgotten in twenty years of driving. We also had a one hour session with a driving instructor who took us around the test route and gave us tips on teaching driving. If you do pay for your daughter to have lessons but can’t afford it full time then it could help to sit in on the driving lesson and take notes

    Take your teen for driving practice at a large cemetery! That’s where my boy’s first sat in the driver’s seat. They had to go slowly and get a feel for the gas and brake pedals as well as steering and turn signals. The best part is usually no one is there, and they can’t kill anyone!! Lots and lots of practice!
    I also got tons of videos from the library system. Some were hard to watch (of accidents), but it was a valuable tool for making the realities of poor driving very clear, very real. Some mistakes you can’t afford to make. There is NOTHING wrong with waiting until your teen is 18 or 19 instead of automatically assuming 16 or 15.5 years is the right age for the HUGE responsibility of driving! Our sons were older. We decided to wait.

Number 5 still doesn't have a license. She's too scared. Number 6 was trained by older siblings, but, thankfully, we learned of an ex-cop who was teaching kids to drive, and we hired him. Best decision we ever made. He even goes over the route of the test with them, and they both passed on the first try.

    Driving Tip for teaching: When I'd get in the car I'd say, "You tell me all the reminders that I want to tell you that you already know." That worked so much better. When a scary driving event happened, I'd have him pull over to a safe spot and say, "Tell me what happened and how you'd do that differently."
    But Cass, you are wise to know that you might be passing your driving anxiety on. Maybe Joe can do much of the driver training? Or hire that Driver Ed person. Thanks for your videos.

    Great video Cass! I’ve got a family member that is trying to get organized after her mother passed and this will be perfect for her! …. As for driving training advice? I took my son to a business park on the weekends and weekday evenings when everyone was gone. There was no fear of him hitting other cars so it wasn’t as stressful as out in the real traffic. Then once he gained basic experience, we ventured out into the low traffic areas at non peak times. Good luck, I hope this helps you. 🥰

    Omg. I I taught my five girls, my son-in-law and my nephew and probably somebody else that I’m missing. To drive it is so scary you take your life into your own hands when you do this and the best day is when they pass their test! Hang in there.

    I put a cup of liquid on the dash where it would spill on driver if too radical a movement was made. Then went to a large empty parking lot to learn start and stop, and required her to put her right front tire on a coin, getting out and looking where the car actually was compared to where she thought it was. Then she drove a back country dirt road and stopped on a bridge to get out and see how far away the edges were. Only then did she drive on the freeway, then side streets,nand finally down town traffic. She is the best driver now that I have ever ridden with. Very comfy to be her passenger. Hope that helps. BTW, I taught 5 kids to drive by this method, including using a stick shift. All great drivers

    Hired someone to teach my daughter highway driving (no way I was going to do that!). He also showed her the route they take during the test and some tips to remember (the gotcha spots). She passed on the first try! Money well spent!

    Those are awesome techniques! It’s funny our daughters are around the same age and I’m literally waiting on her to get ready so we can go get her G1 test this morning, I too an super anxious about teaching her and have delegated the task to my husband. I had her drive for a bit with me and was over critical that she didn’t want to anymore…. I didn’t think it was too bad but clearly I’m not up to the task! Good luck to you and Izzy I’m sure she will do amazing, and you will be fine as well but I feel the struggle!

    In Illinois kids have to take driver's ed. I thought I was home free, but at-home behind-the-wheels are still required. I didn't know my feet could sweat until I sat in that passenger seat. Somehow my oldest thought stop signs with white borders were optional and lane changing on the highway just required a turn signal and a quick veer. I can't believe I survived :)

    In NH, our kids have to have 40 hours of driving with a parent before going to get their license. This is in addition to Driver's Education, and we have to fill out a log with dates, driving conditions, night or day, etc. I did the whole 40 hours with my son, in all kinds of conditions, and managed to keep quiet - though not at all relaxed! - and scarcely let out an "eek!" (at least out loud lol). I swear, I still can feel those fingernails digging into my palms, twelve years later!

    LOL! You sound like my mom, when she was teaching me how to drive. It was like she had an imaginary break peddle on her side of the car. Interesting the things that have impacted my driving most after all these years were her calm explanations about safety. For example: She would point out a motorcyclist and say, “You’ll need to give him plenty of room, because he doesn’t have that much protection.”

    Advice on teaching someone to drive is to start practicing in the school parking lot or huge open parking lots that are free to use and when no cars in the spots. It worked for me. Taught several teebs and adults too.

    My son had a professional instructor from a driving school. His dad is helping get the required driving hours in for his license. I'm just like you and have no intention of getting behind the wheel with my son until he gets his license and a little more experience. I definitely suggest having a driving school and then having someone else help teach the driving.

  • @donnacarr3586
    @donnacarr3586 ปีที่แล้ว

    First of all Ontario insurance is only afffordable if she goes to a driving school, so send her. Otherwise, ENJOY this time with her. Once she gets that G2 she’s gone! She won’t need you for anything but keys so enjoy this time where she and you are concentrating together. As she gets better you’ll relax a bit and enjoy the last few times you’ll be needed to go to the store

  • @kathleenkline4622
    @kathleenkline4622 ปีที่แล้ว

    Definitely sign your child up for lessons from a professional driving instructor...and while you're at it, take a refresher course yourself. If you are constantly hitting curbs, etc. with your vehicle, it may be that you are sitting too low and can't see them clearly. A cushion might help there. You might also want to have your vision checked, especially for depth perception.

    I would pay for drivers education. She's already nervous and self- conscious. Plus, I feel like our kids already think we don't know 'anything' (until they're about 25). So why not let them learn from an 'expert' who isn't us? Just my two cents. Love your videos, and appreciate all the organization skills you teach. Thank you so much!
