Thanks PB...children have bad experiences all the time that frighten them off...eventually they get back on the wagon after the pain subsides, I view affairs similarly to this.
The child just needs the right encouragement to realize the variables of the event weren't harmful, just the outcome
A young girl had a crash on her bicycle outside my home a week ago while i was gardening with my wife. By the sound of it you would think she ripped her arm out of the socket. She tossed the bike away, KICKED it several times and her dad carried her home while her brother hauled the bike back to their garage.
That SAME AFTERNOON she was zipping along the road again on the SAME bike again as if nothing had happened that morning. lol
