As soon as the summer started when my daughter was five, her father and I decided to start teaching her how to ride a bike without training wheels. My daughter is very stubborn like her dad and gets very upset when she cant get something on the first try. Her father was the one who took off the training wheels for her and started to train her himself. Well he does not have too much patience and is very similiar to my daughter's personality. After many tries without the training wheels, they both felt it was hopeless at the time. As soon as I had the time, I decided I would have my daughter riding without training wheels in no time, I was determined!
Within about 10 minutes of me working with her, she got it down. How did she learn so well? The main problem I saw my daughter having and all other new kids having was keeping their balance long enough to stay on the bike, peddling. There is a little hill up the road from us and I thought what better way to help keep the balance than to go down that. Now I am talking only a little bit of a slant in the hill, not a real steep one.

That was it! It took only two tries with her and she was able to do it herself, I couldn't believe how fast it came to her. Just having that little bit of a slant, she was able to keep her balance on the bike. Then of course she kept going down it, going faster and faster each time. I was so proud of her and she was so proud of herself. I never let her get discouraged and let her know that quitting was not an option. Thats the main thing when teaching something new, build your child's confidence up so they won't think about quitting. Please parents, stay PATIENT, or your child will want to give up.

My daughter has so much confidence in riding her bike that she wanted to teach the neighbor girl how it was done. This little girl was two years older than my daughter and she still did not know how to ride a bike. My daughter told her how to do it, she tried it and got it in the same day. I didn't know this until her Mom came up to me a couple days later and was amazed that my five year old daughter had taught her seven year old daughter how to ride a bike.
I told a mother on my daughter's softball team what method I used to teach my daughter when she said she was having trouble teaching her daughter to ride with no training wheels, it worked for her too.
I know this method works, I decided to talk about it because so many parents have a real problem with it. They take their child's training wheels off and then the child cant ride their bike for months, maybe years because it is so hard for them to learn. I want to get the word out to parent to save the stress, it really can be fun training your child to ride without training wheels. I will never forget how happy my daughter was to finally learn to ride.
Just remember, stay PATIENT, and give your child lots of encouragement.
