Teens & Driving: An Adventures in Single Parenting Book

by Kimberley Byrne, Len Mooney

Overview

Considering that motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among 15 to 20 year olds, teen driving deserves special attention and parental supervision. The affinity between teenagers and driving may never cease to amaze parents. It is a relationship that has probably given parents more headaches than a boyfriend or girlfriend of whom they disapprove. It has also given the governments of various countries a lot of problems hence the deluge of statistics relating to the issue that they routinely compile. Let's be honest, we all passed through that phase when we really wanted to sit behind the wheel and control the vehicle. This, in conjunction with the exhilaration of driving at crazy speeds provides a feeling of invincibility and daringness missing from the seemingly regimented life of the average teen. Most parents with whom I discussed teen age driving acquired knowledge by hindsight and in some cases that was insufficient as they had already lost a child to an automobile accident. The idea here is to place facts and figures before you. I have also provided broad outlines that may serve as templates and guide you in making decisions. I further hope that the stories I will share about mine and other people's experiences will better enable you to make the decisions you need for the safety of you children. In summary, you want to guide your budding teen driver properly and that is what this book is about.

His children lived with him for 14 years. He quit his job and began working from home. During that time he developed the skills necessary to provide the time freedom and lifestyle he wanted for himself and his two children. Len currently snow skies in Kirkwood Meadows in the winter and splits his time in the summer between San Diego and Mexico.

He is a published author and internet and network marketer. The book, "Adventures in Single Parenting" is the story of the journey he took with his two children.

Len characterizes "Adventures in Single Parenting" as the book he wishes he could have read before the children came to live with him. It is full of good practical advice written with subtle humor but dives into very important topics relevant to all parents, especially single parents.

In addition, there is a companion "Journal for Single Parents" so parents can record their thoughts, triumphs and frustrations.

Finally there is a growing series of shorter books on specific topics. The 1st is, "Teens and Sex, an Adventures in Single Parenting Book". The 2nd book is, "Teens, Alcohol and Drugs, An Adventures in Single Parenting Book" and is now available. The 3rd book is "Teens and Driving, An Adventures in Single Parenting Book"

There are several companion books planned in the near future.
