My pottery teacher (who has many areas of expertise, one being bikes, (but no kids)) swears by taking the pedals off, having the kids scoot down the drive a few times* till they get the balance thing going, then put the pedals back on. Two-wheeling in a day. Many students have tried it with their kids -including me- and it works like a dream.
