[quote=Anonymous]Op, I feel like I could have written this.  My DD refuses to study for a learner's permit.  Just today, she pushed back at me when I told her to spend an hour looking at the drivers manual...she said, "I don't go anywhere,  so why do I need it?"  She is an anxious person, but that's all the more reason she'll need lots of practice time.  Basically, she is on her devices whenever she isn't at school or her summer job.   Zero motivation.

I've been explaining how summer is the best time to take or re-take the permit test because she doesn't have school work and she has more free time and daylight (for driving).  But, tbis goes nowhere.

I can take here down to dmv and "make" her take the test, but I can't mske her pass it.  It's all so foreign to me!  I got my learner's permit when I was 14.  I got a school permit at 15.  Hot my reg license at 16.  Everybody wanted to get their license as soon as they turned 16.

When is the time to push?  When do you let them find their motivation?[/quote]
