Just buy a helmet and some knee and elbow pads. Put your child on the bike and then let him ride (and pedal) while holding on to the bike. eventually, when you think it is time let go and watch him pedal for a few seconds and then he will fall. This is how I was taught, and it is how I have taught my own. He will be upset the first time, and may not want to get back on right away, but he will get back on soon enough...Good Luck
