[quote=Anonymous]I was once an 8 year old who didn't want to ride a bike. My parents forced me to learn and in retrospect I'm glad they did. It's one of those life skills you should have. Do you know why your child doesn't want to ride? Fear? Maybe if you can talk it through with your child and let him/her know you are not trying to be evil and that you understand how scary it can be. If your child feels understood, perhaps that will lessen the resistance. And if he/she is still refusing and it's a major power struggle, just drop it and try again in a year. I do think a class is a good idea, I saw a notice at Roosevelt island about an NPS sponsored class. Good luck![/quote]
