best kids bike training wheels image
Brown Suga
My niece is five and very clumsy and she just got a bike for Christmas with no training wheels on it. What the best way to teach her to ride it? Do I start with balance without her riding the bike first or what? Thanks!
Answer
Hold the bike and run with them while they ride the bikee. After a few rounds of that then try letting go only if you think they can do it by themselves. Try to practice on a flat surface and have grass on on side so that if they fall they have a 50% chance on falling on grass.

What's a good way to teach a child to ride a bike?
Sit'nTeach
I am a nanny and am working with a set of parents who really think it's time their daughter ride her bike without training wheels. She's definitely physically ready and has good balance, etc., but doesn't really seem confident in herself and won't concentrate. If we stop taking her out she gets upset because then she can't get her brand new purple bike, but if we do take her out, she purposely wobbles the bike. We've tried talking to her and we hold onto the back of the seat while she rides. Are there any other tips you could offer? Nothing mean and nasty about pushing the kid--the parents have decided on this approach with the child (and the mom's a child psychologist so she knows what she's doing), I just need to take her outside every day and "practice" until she gets it... Any suggestions?

We spent a great deal of time trying to teach our son to ride his bike. Riding on grass helped quite a lot, as did spending a lot of time running along holding the seat while he got used to balancing and pedaling and steering at the same time. We also found practicing for short periods often helped keep everyone from getting too frustrated. The reality is most kids won't do it until they are ready emotionally - the physical readiness usually comes long before the emotional readiness. Good luck!
