[QUOTE="Zardo, post: 595368, member: 12490"] I am more of a fan of get the driver's license and then start granting and removing driving privlidges as needed. We have had a crazy up and down year with difficult child - but he has been doing better than he has been doing in the past 2.5 years in this past 2 months and the driving privlidges have been key. We have taken his car away, so he has to share with me and ask permission every time (also key), but the ability to drive allows him to look for a job and have some independance as he meets our expectations, which he has been doing. It's the biggest carrot as this age and I think if we didn't have it, it might be hard for him to motivate as his situation might have been too hopeless. Our family counselor also suported this position. He felt it was important for him to know how to drive and have a license at 17 years old, but the driving would only be allowed by meeting expectations. So far, so good. Just another perspective.
