So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Heres Why Children Balance Bicycles Are The Best

By Clarence Cook


A "balance bike" is just a children's bicycle without the pedals. The balance bike has been specifically designed for kids that does away with the the need of pedaling and focuses more on coordination and balance.

The way in which to control Balance Bicycles is primarily done by walking. You may have noticed toddlers learning to ride by doing this straddling their bikes, hands on the hand grips and walking and pushing before jumping off the bicycles seat and the excitement of getting a sensation of balance and stability through hand and pedal coordination. Balance bikes have the same mechanism apart from the sprockets, chains and pedals. As soon as they have established a position of stability, they can glide through the street with handle control alone while his or hers feet just above the ground or positioned on the foot rest.

Balance bicycles are the best choice for toddlers aged 1 to 5. However, even when they have got changeable components, weight is also a consideration. Children that may be over weight for his or her age may also have no difficulties using this kind of toddler bike. On the other hand, there is certainly still children older than the suggested age for the specific bike size and will be able to be supported by the lightweight frames of these bikes. With all of the pleasing features, the pros obviously are much greater than the cons of these running bikes.

Balance bikes are a lot different from the bikes, that most have come to be familiar with through the years. Balance bikes tend to be more helpful for children these days as they are in effect a vehicle for teaching children the fundamentals about sense of balance and motor function. Parents initially thought that balance running bikes may not be child friendly, owing to since these types of kids bikes do not have pedals or the standard foot brakes and training wheels from behind.

In most cases using balance running bikes to learn has shown to give toddlers more confident with their biking skills. Falls may still happen as with most bikes, but the falls and injuries are much less. As mentioned there are no pedals and chains or sprockets plus other forms of components that may yet cause further injuries.

Other bicycles are fitted with brakes and other knickknacks aimed at putting the bike to a stop. Balance bikes move away from this notion by giving control for the rider to stop the bike with their feet. This is certainly as just their feet will stop the running bicycle from running. This is often essential in increasing stability and fast reflexes as it applies to other aspects besides bike riding that would require precise activities.

A balance bike will immediately grow to be the child's most popular toy. Kids have an need for movement and discovery. Balance running bikes enables them to mischievously acquire psycho motor abilities, foresight and alertness. The feeling of of riding a running bike for the first occasion is definitely an exciting experience that will help to build self assurance and a sense of safety. Maybe they imagine the balance bicycle to be a grown-ups racing bike or a pretend pony, the balance running bike will play a part of an essential role for the early training in you toddlers early years.

Tricycles are usually not very well balanced, scrape ankles, and are hard to pedal. Bikes with training wheels are over sized, heavy, unstable and at times intimidating for kids learning to ride a bicycle for the first time. Both have the ability to cause serious injuries and install fear in the child. Balance running bikes are free from any wires, pedals or chains or sharp parts which will hurt the child. And balance motorcycles are easy to balance, stable and safe. At the first intuition of instability, your child will intuitively place both feet steadily on the ground. Therefore there is no tricycle tip overs or training wheel wobbles that stir-up apprehension, indecision, or aversion of bike riding.
