Children, WHAT CHILDREN! Somebody here know something I DON'T. Actually I'm an imposter
.
Seriously:
Pivot your clutch foot with your heel on the floor.
The secret to driving a manual, eliminates the surge, jerk, surge, jerk. Teach them to get the car moving without touching the gas pedal.
Teach your children to breathe and float in water and be comfortable and the odds are great they will never drown. Exhale-inhale quickly, hold your breath longer, maintain positive buoyancy. Once they learn this swimming is simple. Heck, I can swim backwards like a shrimp.
Make scary easy.
