Finally got my daughter to ride her bike without training wheels

Been working on this all summer. She was so scared of falling and I must have ran behind her for like 50 times holding the seat. Then one day last weekend I let go without telling her and she just kept going. The look on her face when she realized she was doing it on her own. Immediately crashed into the grass but she didn't even care. Now she wants to ride it every single day. Mission accomplished.

That's a big deal! The fear thing is so real. My girl had the same anxiety about falling. How long did it take before she felt confident enough to let go?

Man, congrats. That's genuinely one of the best wins. All summer of patience paid off. She probably feels like she can do anything now.

You running behind her like a madman the whole time is peak dad energy. Bet she felt so proud when she finally did it. Those moments stay with them forever.
