my daughter will not or cant peddle

i hired a PT this summer and told her if nothing else, all i want is for her to

peddle (it uses both sides of the brain) and Nadia just would not, while the PT

kept saying she can but will not, I am not so sure what it is...

so after 3 trikes, and two bikes what should i do? give up or try one of this

adult size Trikes? by the way she is almost 5

My 9 year old girl is the same way but she will ride a big trike at

school without any problems. Funny, the trike at school looks like it

is from 1952! I think the trike is much more stable then the bike with

training wheels and that is why she must feel safer and more secure on

it. I am looking into a bike conversion kit at this site:

http://www.tri- spin.com/ It is about $250 (Much cheaper then

some " special needs " bikes/trikes) . I was also looking at the Fat

Wheels training wheels because they seem to be more stable then regular

small training wheels. http://www.fatwheel s.com/
