Two people (as of now) traumatized their kids while teaching to ride. :)

I have to say I watched this and figured this would not work with my kid. I was trying to teach him to ride the "old fashioned way" (holding on to the back of his seat) and he screamed and fell every time I let go. I was convinced this trauma is just a necessary part of growing up. We all did it.

I decided on a whim today to give this method a try. I'm SO glad I did. My son walked his bike to the park today and rode it home 2 hours later.

Ashley..... thanks for the thought you put into the teaching method. I find I have limited time to spend with my son however, I left his pedals of between weekends and had him practice outside the house to get his confidence up. I found that once I put the pedals back on he rode first time......this is a credit to you as I have very bad memories of the first time I learn't to ride as a child. THANK YOU.
