Teaching 6 Year old How to Ride A Bike...

I tried and tried and tried with my son and he didn't seem to be able to figure out the whole balance thing.
I left him to his own devices and lo and behold without my help he had it figured out and was off and biking.

I think sometimes we make things worse when we are trying so hard for them.

Alex wants nothing to do with two wheels.

I also tried with both of my boys for a while but eventually they just did it on their own. They really wanted to learn so they could ride with their friends and they figured it out with a few scrapes and bruises along the way. That comes with the territory though. All kids are different, my boys also did the same thing with potty training. I would bribe and fuss and they just wouldn't go until I gave up and then one day they just figured out that the feeling of the diaper was yucky and they started using the potty.
Its good shes not getting discouraged and she has all summer to practice!

I did this with all 3 of my kids...trust me this is the easiest way.

Ditch the training wheels. Lower the seat to the point where your kids feet touch the ground and they can walk/ride while on the seat. Then...remove the pedals.
Walk around the block for a while. After a bit, you will notice that they start to get it, then instead of step...step...step, they start to coast longer. Once they feel comfortable, I took mine on a slight decline and had them coast down the hill. Then I put the pedals back on. It is amazing how quick they ride. Then them getting started by themselves is the only new thing to learn.

Can anyone give me some tips here...

My 6 year old daughter is just NOT getting how to ride a bike yet..

She did the whole training wheel thing for a few years and last summer we took them off and started to teaching her...She didn't get it last year (no big deal)...Brought the bike out this year, and she tried quite a few times and still NOT getting it...She doesn't get frustrated or anything like that which is good...But I see other kids her age riding bikes and just don't understand what her deal is.

Any opinions or suggestions??

Teaching my kid how to ride a bike was the most traumatizing experience of my life. He screamed his fool head off, so I kept walking, ignoring him, to bad he was screaming my name. He ate pavement more times than I can count, refused to put his feet on the peddles...yeah it was an aweful summer...but that was two years ago. He's still scared poopless to do anything daring on his bike, but at least he peddles! Good luck, there's no right way to do it...

My husband is working with my 5 yr old son now. His bike currently has no training wheels but my husband was thinking of putting some on. Would like to hear some tips.

This is exactly what I did with my eldest. He got it in a day, but then, he was a year or two older. I tried to teach him when he was 6 but he ate it one too many times, and refused to get back on until he was 7.5 or 8. My younger son had training wheels and after he had a good day of riding, we'd raise them. Eventually we raised them enough that he wasn't even using them, so we took them off. He panicked. But he rode. He will only ride in the parking lot behind our house now. He only ever crashed once and he never got all banged up! But he's scared. My daughter is 7 and she still uses training wheels. It's hard to teach kids to ride bikes where I live sometimes because it rains so much. So we're waiting until this summer to make a big push of it.
