DS1 (2.5yo) loves his balance bike. He's had it for a while but is only now starting to get some speed up on it and is becoming more adventurous going down hills etc.
This weekend we got his helmet out and told him he needed to wear it when he went on his bike - huuuuuge meltdown, refused to wear it and refused to go anywhere near his bike. He'd rather walk apparently.
I have just spent half an hour covering said helmet in stickers with him. He will still not wear it. I have said that if he wears it we can go on his bike and get an ice cream. He will still not wear it. I have found my helmet and worn it around the house. He will still not wear it.
Any tips or ideas? I'm so gutted we didn't make him wear it from the word go as we wouldn't have this problem now. It makes me so sad that he won't touch his bike now because he doesn't want to wear the helmet :(
