[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 3 kids and they were 5-6. We took off pedals and had them use it like a balance bike, then graduated to holding the back, and then letting go. We practiced on grass and then moved to pavement. All learned in a day. Not hard but it did take patience and a calm attitude. My youngest had motor planning issues so we did not think it would happen at that age but he asked so we let him try. I think it helped that the OT introduced a trike and worked on pedaling beforehand. [/quote] Almost exactly the same. 3 kids, all learned around 5/6. Took a few times in the grass, then. the sidewalk, then we had to practice turns. The hardest part for all of them was learning to get the bike going on their own and not need someone to hold on to it, while they climbed on, and giving them a a little push to get going so they can start pedaling. For some reason, that took the longest to master.[/quote]
