My son just learned how to balance on his balance bike and the next step for him is to balance on a bike with pedals but I didn’t want to rush it. Learning to keep your balance is a nice milestone to reach, and to enjoy for more than a moment. Even though I knew he could keep his balance on a balance bike, we went out a few more times on the balance bike before trying a bike with pedals because it can be tiring to constantly be facing challenges. I wanted him to have a break between challenges and enjoy his newfound skill before throwing another challenge at him. Because he was having fun. Remember to have fun!
