The above illustration was inspired by a day at the ice rink with my then 3 year old son. We had reached an impasse which required some unique actions on my part, some of which were quite comical.

Teaching Ice Skating
Standoff at the Ice Rink
Ice Skating at face value can seem to be an irrational sport, let alone an unlikely popular recreational activity. One willingly engages in navigating over a frigid, rock hard, slippery surface by means of boots affixed with blades. For the beginner, painful falls coupled with constant frustration and embarrassment often come with the territory. Understandably, this is a challenging situation to face, especially for the impressionable mind of a child.
