I learned to ride clipless on an MTB when I was living in Vermont. My friend coached me and we spent five minutes while he was holding me or I was propping myself against the truck. Then I just clipped in and unclipped while in the parking lot and haven't had an eposide.
My son wanted a clipless pedal once he can fit in a size 1 and he raced BMX, that when he just turned 7. . He is a natural, just clipped in and went. He can trackstand though. I think popel ingrained it too much that you will fall and nobody adjusts the tension.
