My kids all learned at different ages (boy 4, girls 6, AND 5). Only the middle one used training wheels for more than a few days. She is my least coordinated kid.

I found that by putting them on a tiny bike- the ones with 12" wheels, and so that both feet touch the ground while seated gave them the confidence to ride, knowing they could put their feet down at any time. For my middle daughter I talked her into taking off ONE at a time.

My youngest (she is now 11 and the one for whom I just bought a Trek) insisted I take them off. She had me run beside her twice, than asked me to go inside. We live on a dead end and put cones in the street so the kids can ride safely. Darned if that little one didn't teach herself how to ride!

Once they were riding we put them on a bigger bike.

They need to find their confidence. Give her a chance to find hers again.
