[QUOTE="Smithmom, post: 740903, member: 23371"] I said this someone on another thread but here goes.. You taught her to ride a bike. At first you held on to the back to make sure she didn't fall over. Then you backed off until eventually she balanced on her own. If you held on to the back forever eventually you're not only keeping her from learning but you're making her unbalanced. I suggest that being a parent isn't doing it for her or pushing her to do it. It's teaching her to do it herself and then letting go. If she falls down you help her get up and then let her go again. [/QUOTE]
