OK, with Crocs, Moon Boots and Light-Up Skechers, it's REALLY easy to forget to teach your kids how to tie shoes. I know this quaint fact because I forgot. Sam and I embarked on a few lace lessons yesterday...and I found myself running to the computer to Google catchy little rhymes and poems to help us...I mean, him. We liked this one.Also, when Sam learned to ride a two-wheeler (I didn't forget to teach him that), I found myself looking for online advice, too. Obviously, I know to hang onto the seat and run like hell (thanks, Dad)...but I wondered if there were any hidden secrets for success.
Somebody told us to start Sam on a grassy slope, instead of the road. Then, he could get a sense of balance and momentum in a safe environment. This worked well.
Good luck out there! And don't forget to lace up your running shoes!
