Training children how to properly drive motorized vehicles safely
Since my son was old enough and had a stable enough neck to join me for quad/dirt bike rides he came with me a majority of times. As he got a bit older around 2.5 years old he became very interested in controlling my atv with me on the back. which in a way was a good way of teaching him throttle control and proper steering.. he learned quickly so by 3 years old I got him a new quad (Honda trx90), which was a perfect quad to learn on. I had turned the governer screw in so throttle wouldn't open up compleatly. He learnt fast to where I was comfortable with taking him along with me on bug rides with challenging trails and as he got more hours the trails got more advanced. and through the rides I walked him through and explained scenarios which can happen if not careful. at 6 years old now  he now can ride a full sized quad. owns a mini z 120 snowmobile which he grew out of instantly and moved up to.a 440. I just picked up a 17 crf50 for him as we had a pw50 but was not a fan of them as they lacked power to climb bigger hills. I wish they made a bigger bike between the 50 and 110 as the 50 is too small. but it's a good bike to keep for my 3 year old daughter once she learns the quad.

The best way to teach your child to safely learn to ride is set up a environment for them so if a error accured it won't be a kid falling in a deep hole or on a hard rocky area where they can get injured easier. Keep close until they are used to the bike If there is a close call. stop the bike and explain what just happened and what could of happened. Keep governor down so papers aren't beyond their skill . teach the child how to use the brakes. and have brake drills to familiarize them enough so it's natural for them to use the right brakes.
