Then, you’ll want to teach your kids how to “hold the latch” once you are “three or four cars” from your turn.
Witherspoon went on to explain that kids should also have their backpacks on. It might be uncomfortable for a bit. And further, it’ll be “good for their posture.”
“They need to be ready to go,” she explains. You can watch her full TikTok video here:

Witherspoon continues, “Y’all have got to stop getting out of the car and opening the doors for them. Let them open their own damn door — it takes too much time.”
She jokingly adds, “Most importantly, we are yielding. It’s not a stop. It’s a yield. We’re gonna teach them how to tuck and roll.”
“Whatever you gotta do, help them get out of the car,” Witherspoon interjects.
