  Turn with your hands?
  
  Anyway, you just need more practice to get the feel.

  First, are you holding your steering wheel correctly? Are you turning with the correct technique. Ideally, you should use the push and pull method. Coordinate both your hands when you turn the steering wheel. If you're using power steering, practice turning while the car is stationary. When you're comfortable with turning the wheels, try negotiating bends at a slow speed.
  
  Did your front or back wheels hit the kerb? Either way, you're turning too early or too close to the kerb while turning or both. Make sure you leave enough gap while turning. The key here is to visualize where the four wheels are.
  
  HTH.
