1. We begin the movement straight. We determine the pushing leg (we will see this by the foot with which the child most often tries to push off). “Right” leg at first - the first success, the first victories and enthusiasm. A left-handed child will quickly learn skating with his left foot, and a right-hander will be more convenient to push off with his right. During the movement, the leg, which is on the platform, after the push is bent, and when the push is bent again at the knee. As soon as the scooter picks up low speed, the second leg can also be placed on the platform. When the movement slows down, we push off with the foot again, while controlling the steering wheel. The body is slightly tilted forward (leaning on the steering wheel) - this will allow the child not to fall back. 

 2. Turns. Having mastered the movement on a scooter directly, we teach you to make turns. This skill will allow you to easily maneuver when avoiding obstacles. Moving forward, if necessary, turn left, leave for the right edge of the track, push off with your left foot, turn the steering wheel to the left. If necessary, turn right, drive to the left edge of the track, push off with your right foot, turn the steering wheel to the right. 

 3. Skating in a circle. The right and left turns are well fixed, performing a more difficult exercise - riding in a circle, one way, then the other. 

 4. Driving along a complex path. After mastering the simple ways of moving on a scooter, you can invite the child to perform more complex exercises: zigzag riding (snake), detouring obstacle chips. Parents themselves can also act as "chips" for a detour. 

 5. Learning to slow down. In some scooter models there is a visor above the rear wheel, it can be used as a brake by pushing it with a push leg. If necessary (an obstacle on the way), it is easy to jump off the scooter, but only at low speed.
