[quote=Anonymous]Mine learned around 6 yrs old with the take off the pedals and learn to balance first approach. However, what they really needed was time by themselves with the bike to work on it without a hovering "encouraging" parent. Find a park or deserted parking lot where you can sit nearby, read a book and shut up while they figure it out. For us, we were able to give them that space while we were at a family camp where all the kids get around on bikes so there was also a peer pressure aspect that helped motivate them, esp. DS who had really resisted learning for a while.[/quote]
