My son, who is three, really wants to skate. I took him last year when he was two. I didn't expect much when he was two, because he was two. This year I really felt that he was going to get the hang of it. He is able to understand my instructions better... so I thought.

I know people teach their kids to skate at a really young age, and their kids do good. Now maybe my kid just isn't ready yet, but I want to make sure it isn't my instructions, or inability to teach (I'm no teacher, thats for sure) that hinders my son's ability to skate.

Is it possible to teach a kid to skate so young or is it just something that they figure out and the skating instructions come later?
