I didn't see any pedals on the bike, so it looks like one that he pushes with his feet. No balancing required!

Oh yes, you are right. There are no pedals on the bike. I was so excited so I over looked.

My son also has a bike like this one from Specialize (hotwalk http://www.specialized.com/bc/SBCBkModel.jsp?spid=35506 ), he loves his bike, it doesn't have pedals but you need to have a very good balance to ride on it, not every kid knows how to do that and he must be trainn a lot. My son has his bike since he is 18 months years old and he really loves it! This kind of bikes are very good to train the balance and when they know the balance they don't need extra wheels on the back, they will ride a normal bike rigth away!!!

We did something similar with my daughter. We took the pedals off of her old bike and she learned to balance on the bike this way. When she was ready, we put the pedals back on and off she went.

[biboquinhas]

I hope we can get to see some pictures of Christian in his first day of school! Does anyone knows if the school in Denmark has already began?

I think I once read somewhere that Danish kids start to attend primary school around the age of 6 or 7.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Christian started to attend the day care center shortly before Isabella was born. So around the age of 1 1/2. I guess that's when Isabella is going to start aswell.

In Denmark, the children are 6 years on average when they start school. Until then, it is daycare and kindergarden while the parents work - but that is play, not school.

There are children who start at age 5, but most people (including me ) find that age 6 is early enough. Children should be children as long as they possibly can

I think it's similar in most countries and whether it's called "school" or "kindergarten" or "pre-school" it doesn't really matter. I doubt that Leonor will learn writing etc in her "school" at the age of three, it's all about learning by playing before things get more serious in the real school.

That is good to hear

Just an FYI tidbit. In the US where I live there is Daycare which can be for a variety of ages. They basically babysit your children at a center. It is usually private, but can on rarely public. They may be taught things like shapes, colors, do a nature walk etc. But the primary motive is to care for the children.

Pre-school is where they will start to learn things, like basic concepts: alphabet, numbers, colors, shapes. They may also learn this at a day care, but preschool is different. They go for a certain peroid of time for certain days of the week. The goal is to ready them for kindergarten. They usually get screened to see if there are any deficiencies that need to be addressed before kindergarten.

Kindergarten is around age 5 give or take a year. This is mandatory schooling. Some school districts have half day kindergarten or full day kindergarten or a choice between both. They go everyday. There still is some play, but there is also basic lessons taught.

In my area they also have Early Childhood Education. My son attends this. It is before Preschool. They attend it in my district from birth to about 4 years. It is a place for both parents and children to come together for different classes on a certain day. They usually have Spring and Fall sessions. It is a place to play, learn etc.

Just thought I'd give an example of how this works in my part of the world. Since countries and states are all so different.
