Babes Christmas gift



We gifted Kiele Rica with a lovely Christmas Gift. We gifted her with a bike that works on battery. It’s a very neat piece.

Kiele, as I mentioned earlier get scared immediately. She just does not like to sit either on the swing or slide etc. etc.. I am trying all ways to get that fear out of her system which I think now am being a lil successful.

Like when we bought this bike – we were sure she would be scared to sit on it and if she presses the accelerator it moves – so no way would she be ready to sit on it.

When we went shopping she was fascinated on seeing all the cars and bikes so we thought why not try making her sit on the bike to see if she gets frightened – Right enough she sat on it for a few seconds then was not ready to sit back.

We thought best way is to buy it so that she will see it daily and when she sees other children sitting on it.. she will get bold enough to sit on it herself.

When we took it home she would only press the button and listen to the music and she would dance but that was not the reason we bought this gift for her. So what I did was first I acted and sat on the bike and started moving it to show her that’s its real fun and am enjoying the ride.. So immediately she too wanted to do the same as I – I immediately made her sit for sometime and didn’t press the accelerator coz we thought we will do one thing at a time – for a very long time we just made her sit and listen to the music.. then slowly by slowly I started pressing the accelerator and the vehichle started moving… she was frightened initially but managed… now she tries to go on her own to sit on the bike and also many a times presses the accelerator herself and moves forward.

I was really happy on seeing this coz she is now no more frightened of the bike…
