What I’m Learning From Teaching My 16 Year Old How to Drive (Not for the faint of heart)

Written by Anese Cavanaugh | September 21, 2016

My boy just got his permit. I’ve aged about 5 years in the last week. It’s a magical time. It’s brought out the best and the worst in me. This a.m. after he set my nervous system on fire driving to school, and I’d had time to drop back into my body and reflect… I realized how much I’m impacting his performance and experience with, YEP, my very own presence and being. For your viewing (and perhaps giggling and/or empathic) pleasure, here’s a bit of a window into that experience. OF COURSE, I’ve looped this right back into how this is a leadership lesson.

Can’t wait to pick my kid up today and let him drive me, my nervous system, and my up-leveled IEP around. Wish me well.

PS. If you DO want to come play with me, the event I mention at the end is right here.
