In a short post, Emma conveys the tears and the triumph of her daughter’s efforts to ride her new bike, a bike “much, much bigger than her old one.” There is a genuinely moving moment of “trauma” which most parents will identify with, but I’ll let you find it out for yourself. What I particularly loved was the laugh-out-loud crazy-moment when a mother, clearly at an extreme of what-the-heck-can-I-do, shouts, “Use your core!” as encouragement to her daughter. The wonderful irony is that, ultimately, that is how her daughter learns how to ride. It’s just a great read! [...] […] My favourite has to be Two Wheel Trauma.

I love that the "trauma" was mostly yours - I don't mean that to sound sadistic, but it really conveyed the stress a parent can go through just as much as a child. I love the thought of you shouting "use your core." That was so good - plus the fact that ultimately that <em>is</em> how she learnt to ride her bike. So, good advice! And it was so moving when she apologises for not learning faster - that moment when a parent realises they have been just a little bit more enthusiastic than they meant to be. Brilliant! This was a great read.
