For a forum that desperately wants acceleration for their kids why do people give into kids' fears instead of teaching them to work at something that is hard for them to teach them good habits? Not everything is going to wait for them to be ready, they may lose opportunity while they wait for the anxiety to subside.

DD was in no way physically ready to ride a 2-wheeler at 4. She actually did not even learn to pedal till 4. She has some mild motor delays. Also, she is very freaked out by physical injury. While I certainly want to teach my kids to persevere, forcing a screaming, terrified child to try to learn to do something that requires calm and self-confidence in order to not get hurt does not sound like a good plan.
