Dear Parents,
We live in Florida, and kids can get their drivers permits at the ripe old age of 15, and receive a restricted license at 16. I personally think this is ridiculous - way too young. My daughter waited just under a year, got her permit right before turning 16, and her license right before turning 17. This seemed more reasonable to me.
All of that being said, my youngest son is going for his drivers permit today, a full 5 days after his 15th birthday. I still think it's too young, but for whatever reason, I find things easier to deal with the second time around. I actually had a good experience with the process of getting her into the drivers seat, so my anxiety level is much lower with him. I guess that's how it is with everything with second (and third...fourth...etc) children.
Let's wish him luck and see how he does!
To Your Family,
