[quote=Anonymous]OP, I just double checked to see if this was an old thread and if I had been the one who posted it; your description of your child is exactly the same as mine, and we went through the exact same thing at the exact same time (DS was 7, almost eight).  DS wanted to ride a 2wheeler so much but just couldn't, yet, and working with DH wasn't getting either of them anywhere except frustrated.  What we did was to have a friend of DH's, someone DS likes, take DS for two consecutive afternoons, to work with him. DS was way more receptive to working hard with someone he liked but with whom he could not pull the "I'm tired/this is too hard" thing the way he does with a parent.  It took one day to get him started, and the next day he was riding.  It was really unbelievable.  He now FLIES around the neighborhood on a 20" bike, cutting tight corners and sharp turns, falls, gets back on, and goes off again.  It's shocking how quickly it happened once it happened.  Good luck with the ride this weekend.  [/quote]
