Trying something new · ages 4–8
Two Wheels, starring your child.
Your child loves the bike, as long as Dad is holding the back of it. Today Dad wants to let go. This is a story about falling over, getting up, and the first time a wobble turns into flying.
The bike, the wobble, and the moment the hand lets go.
N° 01What this story teaches
Falling off is part of learning. Getting back on is the whole of it.
Choose this one when
- Learning to ride a bike, swim, or anything with a first fall
- A child who gives up after one bad try
- Perfectionism, or fear of looking silly
What your child takes away
You were ready before you felt ready. The wobble is what flying feels like at the start.
A note for parents
Read it after a fall, not before one. The line "I fell off, and then I didn't" is the point.
