How young did you start your kids? Did you do lessons or did you teach the little ones on your own?

What is a good age for an adult to learn to ice skate? Asking for a friend. :)

  I read about this somewhere. I think it said 41. Your friend should be fine. ;)

My boys are evidence it completely depends on the kid! We haven't tried ice skating yet, but my 3yo has much better balance on roller skates than my 6yo.

I'm struggling with this now. I have one kid who trips over his own feet on dry land and one who hates the cold but both want to play hockey. Ice skating at 4 and 6 is not going very well for us yet!

We're still trying to master rollerskating first!
