It took 5 turns at watching and 5 turns at doing it herself under supervision for her to learn to use the public transport ticketing system here. Once she had conquered that she made an enormous step towards independence. Likewise with using 'plastic money' machines with her card, and keeping an account book, which enables her to know exactly how much money she has, just like I do. But often she finds instruction difficult and likes to work things out by herself. Even that is encouraging her independence - our ultimate aim always.
