Seriously Stu...I'd have to agree that it's best for her to get right back on that horse and ride. She's old enough to realize that life does come with some risk. The important thing is to minimize that risk by being smart and being careful.

Sit down and talk to her in a way only mom can...she'll get it. After all, she must be pretty smart...she's got you for a mom

grin your sweet MrYum, but you know these times are different then when i was kid, if it depends my kids then i am very protected, this time isnt like the old days, i know i was 7 and drive on my bike everywhere i wanted to go, i forbid my kids to drive everywhere when they had the age of 7, the fast driving from cars and more stuff, i think i have bin over protected, how can you talk a vision out of the head of your kid seeing a man bleeding under a car and his head by that spinning wheel, still i think she will manage it, but not right away, i cant ask that from her, she is still a kid.
