[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You catch him without the helmet, you take away the skateboard. For a long enough time that he really feels it.

I agree with you -- they wear them for biking then get on a skateboard and it's uncool. Better an uncool kid than an injured or dead one. The fall from a moving skateboard could be as bad as a fall from a moving bike.

Now the "let kids be kids and not wear safety equipment" contingent will probably come out of the woodwork here, OP. Ignore. Do what you think will work for YOUR kid and your sense of his safety. Make your own kid's skateboarding totally dependent on whether he wears his helmet, period. Not just takes it but wears it. And yeah, you will probably have to try to catch him without it and enforce the no helmet, no skateboard rule very firmly to make him see you mean business and you really will take that skateboard away, and not let him go "watch" friends who are skateboarding when he's without his own board--because he'll be using theirs for sure.
