Jimmy has had a bicycle for a while now, but has only showed minimal interest in learning to ride it, as there can be anxiety with acquiring a new skill---especially a skill where you can crash and get hurt. I have since set aside one day each week where we devote an afternoon to a personalized bicycle lesson in a vacant parking lot(of course the price for this lesson is an ice cream cone for the obedient student). One day while Jimmy was focusing on riding his bike, Tori took up a new recreational activity of rock climbing. She would find a rock that was low to the ground, sit on it, or lay her body on it, and say, "Look at me, look at me. I am rock climbing!" You could just tell that she was so proud of herself for accomplishing this daunting feat.
