Helping My Daughter Face Her Driving Anxiety: Our Journey Together

My daughter is 18 and still terrified of driving. For three years, we haven’t made it past the parking lot. Living in a rural area without public transport, I know she needs this skill for independence. I’ve started breaking lessons into tiny steps—just sitting in the car, then turning it on, and eventually driving a few feet. We celebrate every small win. I remind her that it’s okay to be scared, but growth happens outside our comfort zone. If you’ve been through this, what helped your family?
