I do not want to to be the lazy-assed dad who buys his daughter the fanciest bicycle in the store and fails to teach her how to ride it. I have seen this kind of horror in parenting. "Just buy them everything and turn your back!"
I do not want to look back and feel that I am one of those parents.
She is ready to learn to ride, all her "friends" can ride, but she does not want to put in the time to learn how to ride her bike. She is so frustrated with herself, when she falls down, that she gives up and will not try again for days!!
I need to find a way to inspire her far beyond the pain she suffers from falling down and scraping up her body.
