Is it just me?
DD1 is 3.9 and has a balance bike. Her trouble is she's far too cautious!
She freaks out going down even the slightest hill and going up is just as bad as 'its such hard work!'
It feels like she's never going to crack the balance bike and progress to a normal bike. I try to take her out to give her practice but its like pulling teeth each time.
Its the same on her scooter. Her friends whiz to nursery on their scooters. If I try and bring hers I spent the whole 10 minute ride home with her freaking out about falling off. Her 2yr old sis will soon be whizzing about leaving her far behind.
I feel like such a bad mum for getting wound up about it but I find to so frustrating.
Any words of advice for me or her?
