What Apathy Toward a Drivers License Might Tell You About Your Teen [One Minute Feature]

Does your teen seem to be showing apathy toward a drivers license? This may not seem like a major problem for a teenager, but could be a sign of some bigger issues in the future.

What Apathy Toward a Drivers License Might Tell You About Your Teen [One Minute Feature]

Drivers licenses are often a symbol of independence and responsibility for a teen. If they are uninterested in a license, could they also be uninterested in accepting other responsibilities?

Apathy Towards a Drivers License

Formerly, kids couldn’t wait to get a drivers license; but because of digital technology, eagerness to get a drivers license at age 16 is now on the decline. The digital world has brought anything, from anywhere, at anytime, to our kids today. “Why exercise the effort to acquire a drivers license?” – they ask.

Well, there are many reasons, but here’s just one. Having no drivers license is likely to also mean – having no job. And having no job means having more time than money. For a teen, this can easily translate into sloth, foolishness, and delayed neurodevelopment for all things responsible.

So, I suggest tightening the limits on digital use until that drivers license is acquired.

"It is such a wonderful, God inspired thing you have done to help all of these children. I think people would love to read your book and learn more. You have helped changed so many lives, people will want to realize & learn about the work you are doing. It is so important." - Doris Newcomb, WFAX
"When I met the kids (at SHA), and saw the glow of transformation on their faces, it spoke to me that Shepherd's Hill Academy was more than 'Just what the doctor ordered.' It is a holistic, spiritual and therapeutic approach to healing that provides an atmosphere for learning and a proving ground for the uncompromising time-tested truths of scripture." - John Rosemond, American Columnist
