At Last, both Deef & Lish Can Ride 2 Wheels Bicycle

I am happy on 18/11/2018, both my kids Deef & Lish can ride 2 wheel bicycle.

Deef persistent by keep trying, less talking and focus on learning making him able to cycle 2 wheels quite fast. Within 2-3 weeks, he was able to ride on 2 wheels.

Lish talked more than trying to ride and overthink made her learning longer than Deef. When she saw Deef successfully rides 2 wheels she started to focus and trying more.

Lish never give up attitude even after suffered few bruises made her success more sweet.

Kids Two-Wheels Bicycle Practice

Today is public holiday thanks to Diwali! So I spent time with my kids and let them learn by themselves riding bicycle with 2 wheels. No more support wheels!

Deef with few tries managed to ride 2 wheels.

Lisha fall down and cried. She went inside the house. I thought she gave up. After few minutes, she came out and tried again. I respect her attitude for not giving up.

When Hadeef saw Lisha crying, he said his remarkable words. “Cry won’t solve your problem”.

After they finished practicing, Lisha showed her bruise on her knee.
