[quote=Anonymous]We got our 3.5 yo a balance bike for Christmas. She has had middling interest, off and on, but we encourage her to use it a few days a week. She says it is too hard and she is afraid of falling, and prefers to stick to her scooter or pull out her old tricycle. We originally thought the hesitation was just that it was something new and it feels a little weird not to be supported when trying to ride, but after several months of trying to have her get the hang of it, helping her push off, spending time lowering and raising the seat to see if it made a difference, and having her watch videos of kids pushing off and gliding to get how it work, she just doesn’t seem so interested. Would you continue to keep her giving it a whirl or just get her a traditional bike with training wheels? Everyone we talk to said the balance bikes are the way to go to help kids learn to ride a regular bike the quickest, but that is not working in our case! [/quote]
