The above is correct: patience is the key. Don't stare at them, but explain calmly what to do while pretending to look out the windshield but actually watching them out the corner of your eye. I taught my wife a few months back. You have to psyche yourself up to be calm no matter what. I've heard some horror stories of guys screaming at their girls, banging on the dash, swearing and all that. If you might do this then don't even bother. Postpone the lesson. I can't speak for women, but it's my observation that they just shut down mentally and go into defensive mode -- not a productive learning environment. Anyway, we found a country road (unpaved) and we just practiced starts and stops for an hour. She got the hang of it after the third start. I can't imagine trying to learn in the city.
Just my $.02,
Bill
