I received an email from my son last night informing me that "I got a good news for you I can riding the bike with the 2 wheel now"
which is flippin amazing. Hes 12 and profoundly deaf and dyspraxic so has found it extremely hard to manage two wheels... I have been and bought a packet of Shrek plasters in readiness for the weekend!!!

Arnica is useful for bruises and fingerless gloves, thick kneed trousers, shin pads.....
I still think our son needs a red warning flag!

Well done to your son, how did he learn?

My daughter 10 has stabilisers too and can't imagine her not at the moment.
Any tips?

Fab news, well done him!

VJG..Persistence is the key i think........His team leader worked with him constantly at school and he has had ocupational therapy weekly to help him with his balance. Bless him(my ds that is) he went and found his lovely OT Steve the next morning to say thanks to him for helping him, when i spoke to Steve later in the morning i could tell he was very very moved!
