[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I took my kids to a baseball field to learn how to ride their bikes.  Falling over on dirt hurts a lot less than falling over on concrete or asphalt.  Plus, the bike doesn't getting going so fast on packed dirt.

Took them a day to learn.  Once they got the hang of it I took them to an empty parking lot to ride around.  [/quote]

Yes, but this takes time and patience.  Something most parents in 2017 do not have.  Much easier to sign up and pay for classes to delegate almost anything.  [/quote]

Unfortunately this is all too true.  Pretty soon you'll be able to parent from your Smart Phone.[/quote]

we pay people to teach our kid 100 other things (sports, swimming, music lessons, tutoring) , why is it such a big deal to pay someone to teach your kid to ride a bike? Sometimes kids learn better that way and it reduces a lot of parent-child tension, especially with older kids who are reluctant, for whatever reason, to learn.  does it make you feel better to essentially tell someone they are a crappy parent because they hire out this one thing? Give me a break.  [/quote]
