My daughter falls off her bike even though it has training wheels :-(

She needs to develop and work on her balance in other areas. Making a game out of it teaches her body balance without thinking about it. One thing you could do is draw a line with chalk, and have her walk it while pretending to be a circus high-wire act. Sounds silly, but it's fun, and the foot in front of foot action develops balance. Sure she'll use her arms stretched out for balance at first, but as she gains confidence she'll also develop balance. Another thing is you and her could do some basic exercizes together. One would be to balance on one foot for as long as you can, and the other person 'spots' you (so you don't fall.) Then after getting her balance on one foot, she can try it with her eyes closed. These are to help develop balance, and while not exactly the same as a bike, in the end, balance is balance, and once it becomes a natural response, the bike will become easeir. Good luck Masihi!

She is seven so still quite young, though some are fast learners. I feel it is the fear that is not allowing her to balance well. I would say start her slowly by maybe just letting her bike a few times while you walk beside her. This may encourage her that you are nearby if she falls.

Well over time for as long as she regularly trains she will learn. It is fun to have a family biking so if your girl can't join you then it's a pity for her and surely you also will not completely enjoy the biking without her. So just be patient with her. Teach and guide her on how to balance herself well and in what direction her eyes should focus and soon you will see that she's going to be even more skillful than you.

Practice makes perfect. I was like that too when I was a kid I was afraid of my own shadow basically until one day I fell off so much that I just got the hang of it. It's one of those things that will take a lot of practice and time but she will get it don't you worry.

Everybody learns everything at their own pace. Just be patient with your daughter. When she is ready and determined to learn how to ride a bike she will.

If I'm honest, you need to hold her whilst she is getting going, wait till she gets the momentum she needs and let go, she'll get the hang of it eventually.

Seems she gets scared then leans to far over. Unless she also has balancing issues when standing then it could mean something wrong with her ears. Just give her time though don't rush it or get frustrated which can sometimes make it take even longer for her to learn.

When i learned, I was older than average, and what I did was learn on my cousin's little bike. It was too small for me, so it was easy to put my feet down before I fell, so there wasn't anything to be scared of. I just stuck my legs out to practice balancing, and after I got better at balancing, then i used the pedals. Around here, rather than training wheels, people give their kids bikes without pedals so they can practice balancing. They push themselves along with their feet and then coast.

Maybe you could rent a tandem bike to help your daughter get the idea of balance. Then on her own bike you could get her ride on grass. She should be wearing a helmet in case she falls off. The training wheels give her a bit of extra balance and stability. She will learn to ride a bike within the next year I am sure. Good luck.

i've read some of the others' comments and they seem good. one of the things kids do when learning is to pedal slowly. urge her to pedal faster if that is the case. it is more difficult to balance a slow-moving buke. also, avoid soft ground since it may be uneven.

I think you have to hold her hands and guide her at the beginning. It also gives her confidence and for the safety reason, to control her speed. My father did the same in the past, and I have absolutely no problem to ride on a bike with training wheels.
