Take note of the above short sentence. It has to do with what is called "target fixation," meaning we go where we are looking.

Thinking back on it, this is where my younger daughter had the most trouble. Even after the balance piece of it had clicked for her, she kept looking at the front wheel and running off the path.

Your goal with balance is for your small muscles to intuitively take over while you keep your eyes on where you are going.

I admire your spunk. Hang in there, and soon you'll go riding through the neighborhood while those same neighbors are cheering for you.
