She is shaking her legs well while sitting but not able to stand as it may pain. We motivated her well but she is not listening. She did the same while her was alright. We told to give pressure in lower leg to drive cycle. She tried many times but she was unable to drive cycle. From then till now she fixed her mind that shd can't drive cycle and she is not pedaling just sitting and pushing her legs. She has low confidence. How to motivate her. How to make her walk

Hi, It is completely normal for your daughter to feel scared and hesitant to walk or put pressure on her leg after her injury. It is important to be patient and understanding with her during this time. One way to motivate her is to start slowly and gradually increase her confidence. Begin by encouraging her to stand and walk short distances with support, such as holding your hand or using a walker. Praise her for every small step she takes and provide positive reinforcement. You can also try distracting her by making walking fun and engaging. Play games or have her walk to a favorite toy or object. Encourage her to take small steps and gradually increase the distance she walks each day. To help her overcome her fear of riding a bike, start by having her practice balancing while sitting on the bike. Encourage her to push off with her feet and glide without pedaling. Once she feels comfortable with this, slowly introduce peddling. Again, be patient and offer encouragement throughout the process. Above all, reassure your daughter that it is okay to feel scared and that you are there to support her every step of the way. With time and patience, she will regain her confidence and be back to walking and riding her bike with ease.

It’s understandable that your child is hesitant to walk after her injury. To help her regain confidence, start with gentle encouragement and small steps. Use positive reinforcement and praise her for any progress, no matter how small. Engage her in fun activities that involve movement, like playing games that require standing or walking. Gradually increase the time and intensity as she gets more comfortable. Be patient and reassuring, reminding her that it’s okay to take things slowly and that she can do it. If her fear persists, consider consulting a pediatric physical therapist for specialized guidance and support.
