[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After the REI one did not work for our child, we did one through Fairfax County Parks which totally worked. Maybe your area has something similar? Or if not you decide to do a Ffx one? [/quote]

What was the problem with the REI class? Was just looking at one for my so ...[/quote]

I had heard such good things. We had tried teaching ourselves (bitchy posters take note) but it did not work. Just ended in lots of fighting, carrying over into everyday life, and all with him still not learning. Some kids just do bot do well with their own parents as teachers, for my sensitive perfectionist it is especially true of anything he has difficulty mastering. Like he gets embarrassed we see him struggle? IDK - but not some magical bonding experience as suggested nor even a successful experience. I will absolutely outsource something I can if I ha e tried and don’t have success. Life is too short to sweat that!

Anyway, our REI class was full - whatever max capacity was - with varying levels of readiness, so between that and the instructor ratio they just didn’t get far enough along to the point where it worked. It likely varies. I was disappointed though because I had heard how great it was. The county rec class was more expensive (longer) but worth it. If I run into trouble again with my youngest I won’t bother with the REI class and will go straight to the parks one.[/quote]

You have mental health issues if you don't have the maturity and patience to teach a kid how to ride a bike.[/quote]
