Play around with hubby and youngest boy child, read, sleep, journal, crochet. But, if in need of some "excitement" in life, we try to each youngest daughter to drive a stick.

That was easy. I took my daughters out to a not yet completed housing area where the streets were finished and nothing else. Had them put the car in reverse and do nothing but back up for two hours.

They were allowed to use the clutch or brake or excelerator, as they saw fit. I sat in the passenger seat and read a book. I made no comments unless asked. The last fifteen minutes were spent in going forward thru the gears.

Whenever we left they knew how to parallel park, the relationship between the various pedals, and my brakes were well adjusted.

Oh! This system works really great if you have access to a 4 wheel jeep.
