Our ds turned 3 in June and is such a sweet natured boy, he’s quite grown up for his age in terms of speech and loves being independent like his older sister which we are very much trying to encourage in an age appropriate way of course.
In other ways he’s very much a boys boy, he loves motorbikes and cars, being outside and generally using as much energy outside as possible. He’s had a balance bike since he was two and it’s his pride and joy. He pretends it’s a motorbike and is very proficient on it. So much so we’re thinking of getting him a proper bike for Christmas.
Im in two minds as whilst physically he is ready, I want him to have developed more impulse control to not just go zooming off. Especially when on roads/on way to school.
We found a lovely park with no roads, great paths for cycling and it also has a skate park/dirt mound area for mountain biking. Of course he’s seen that and is totally obsessed. The thing is I know he could likely manage the smaller dirt mounds quite easily but my anxiety obviously kicks in. Has anyone else had a biking obsessed 3 year old with no fear whatsoever who just wants to learn crazy stuff! 3 seems far too small but in reality he’s a very sound rider so any advice would be welcome!!
addition - clearly for his and everyone else’s safety it would be when there is no one else there!!!!
