When family members try to teach each other new skills

My teenage daughter is teaching me guitar and I'm teaching her to drive, but both of us are terrible students for each other because we can't separate the teaching from all our other family dynamics. She gets impatient with my slow progress and I get anxious about her safety, and we end up fighting about everything except what we're actually supposed to be learning.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Parent and child are attempting to teach each other but their existing relational dynamics are interfering with their ability to create genuine learning spaces together.
