 What skills should I be working on with my child?
Any additional driving that you can do with your child will be a tremendous 
help.  Letting your child drive for five minutes is better than not letting
him/her drive at all, but driving proficiency begins when a child drives for 
thirty minutes to an hour each time.  High fuel cost may limit that but any 
driving that you do with your child will help.
