Many children put on their first pair of skates when they are just toddlers. If a child learns to stand confidently on the ice at the age of three, by the age of four, they will be cruising around the rink with abandon.
They will fall, but they will rise again. It’s also an important lesson to learn.

Of course, figure skating is unique, and there can be a lot of pressure involved. However, just like dance and sports, it can be an excellent way to instill discipline and a love of hard work.
We’re not sure why her mother chose skating for her daughter, but she’s obviously learned some major poise in the short time she’s been doing it.
A video of the 3-year-old was uploaded to YouTube in 2014, and it has been viewed over 1.7 million times.
Valerie, the mother, mentions in the caption that her daughter has only been skating for eight weeks.
And, to be honest, she’s already learned more than we did. She can start and stop, cruise smoothly, and even perform a few cute moves.
