No injuries and we even had a couple of good runs where I wasn’t holding on. A few more weekends and I think we’ve got this.

    Thanks. She had a balance bike when she was really little but she wasn’t super interested. I’ll think about the plan. I’m not sure, though, that foot-speed won’t be too fast. If she feels out of control at all when coasting she plants her feet. I also wonder if I should try to have another parent teacher her. When we tried to teach her to downhill ski, she was cautious and slow. We got her lessons and she did great.

      Teaching our kids hard things is tricky. Don’t push and they might give up for something easier. Push too hard and they might give up from resentment. Even though she didn’t have any bad falls, my kid says she’s upset because she didn’t get it on the first try. She’s been sticking with her balance bike today and yesterday.
