Let me share a little trick I'm working on with my son...
When we are approaching a stop light and want to time it so we don't have to stop, I'm teaching him to down shift into a very low gear, and keep pedaling while applying the brakes. Not to a stop, but very nearly to a track stand. Seems to be working pretty well.
