Bike Helmet

By Meghan Leahy,

April 23, 2015

My four year old tries to ride her bike without a helmet. Every single day.

I am annoyed as all get-out, but I drag her little butt off the bike, take her bike, and sit her on the porch.

When she comes in with her helmet on, she can have her bike back.

Am I annoyed? Yes.

Am I mad at her? No.

Do I want to give up? Yes.

Do I? No.

Is she getting it? Maybe. I can tell her because the tantrums are fewer and helmet-on-head process is getting faster.

We will get there, but until then her cute butt will sit down until she does the helmet herself.
