I think the easiest and least painful way for anyone to learn to ride is to find a gentle grassy slope and go down it sans pedals. Over and over again, until you have mastered steering and balance. Preferably braking with handbrakes! Then add the pedals.

She’s a natural, just like her dad! We didn’t know about the balance bike, but we did take our daughter to an indoor football stadium, where the turf is padded and forgiving.
