[QUOTE="Patman, post: 944244, member: 16962"] The first ride crash, I remember my son doing his is a big way. I thought it was all over, he'd never want to get on a bike again and the boss was going to kill me. He was 4 1/2 and couldn't get the bicycle thing down so I was supposed to hold out on the PW50 until he could stay on 2 wheels. Well mom was shopping se we gave it a shot. 10 minutes of paddling with his feet and he was feet up! I was pumped as he really started showing some skill (must be all those races we watched on TV). Well he was going faster and faster and was getting closer and closer to a wood picket fence. Next lap he went right in to it :yikes: He flew and bounced off the fence and hit the ground. The bike was stuck in the fence and he got up and was walking around with his head down as I got to him. The whole time I'm running over I'm thinking "Bad plan you idiot!". Well I expect tears but when I try to pull the helmet off he's telling me "No! No! I want to do it again! That was like on the cartoons!" Short story we did not do it again be he kept riding for a bit and then I moved him to his bicycle which he took right off on. Oh and mom had happened to come home right after the crash so I told him "Don't tell mommy about the cartoon crash OK." Well of course the first thing he tells her when she asks about his ride is?..... Yup. So you know there will be more crashes and not all will end with a happy face. I've found it really helpful that unless they are seriously hurt that convincing them to get back on a ride a little more is the best way to keep them from being afraid. Usually they forget about the minor injuries after a few minutes and don't want to stop. So don't feel guilty, life is a learning experience and a few scratches and scrapes with some tears is a lot better now since you are spending time together then what could happen later if you had not spent time with your kids.
