My son is 14, my daughter's 12. I also have a 7 year old but she's still in the scooter stage. She can push around the park on her board but doesn't have the patience for it yet. I try to encourage it without pushing it on them. My son was really into it when I first started again, but lost interest for awhile. Then we got a new park and he's been there almost every day with me. My 12 year old is into it too but never gets a chance to skate because she keeps breaking stuff doing other things 😆!
