3 year old son hates the bus and I keep failing my driving test. Help☹️☹️

Hi all!
I’m having a problem at the moment with my little boy, he used to love going on the bus and would be so excited about going on them but the last three times we’ve been on a bus he just cries and cries and I feel so embarrassed of myself when everyone looks at me and you can see the annoyance in their face. Since he was born I’ve been taking driving lessons and I have had 4 driving tests and failed them all. I then took a break for a few months and got a new instructor and feel so much better this time and have my next test coming up next week, but I just have this feeling of dread like I’m going to fail again. The lessons are always really good but then I just get so nervous for the test and I really don’t want to fail again, I just want to pass and have a car so I can take Cameron to the park and nursery etc with ease. Does anyone have any advice or tips for me on either Cameron’s behaviour on the bus or how to pass my driving test. Thank you☹️

Best thing you can do is go into a test with the plan to use it as a mock test, a practice run that you will probably fail but that its okay because this time is just a practice run to see what you need to improve on :)you know you can drive you dont need some instructor to tell you but you need to be completely safe on the road for the sake of your 3 year old SO your going to go into the test and practice it so that next time you pass it.

Buy some Kalms and Rescue Remedy.
They really helped get me through.

I have a real problem with anxiety and was convinced I was going to fail my test despite being fairly confident in lessons.
My instructor was fab, we had several practice tests, she kept Bach rescue remedy in the glove box but the biggest thing that helped me was she sat in on my test. Obviously she wasn’t allowed to talk, but just having her there kept me calm enough that I passed my test with no panic.

Kalms. Pure nerves at being watched so kept doing stupid things. I must be honest that Kalms did knock my emotions out for a good week so I was a bit of a zombie, but they were brilliant for the test. You will n3ed to start taking a few days in advance though.
