A couple of things that helped me I started by hopping on one foot a couple of times and then changing to the other

Then started taking a short run (about 2-3 strides) and getting a bit of height off one foot then jumping onto both feet for one jump

after a while I found I was getting enough height to go for a couple of bounces the forward motion seems to help with stability and I found it better than trying to jump on the spot

Also I found that I had more confidence on grass although you loose some height and it is a bit more slippy it doesn't hurt as much when you do get it wrong

The other thing you can try is occasionally holding onto a lamp post while you bounce as with the support you may feel safer

Hope this helps

Sorry that's me  :-\
I never forget ! I have very good retentive memory for things like that.
If I close my eyes I can remeber small detail which you would have thought of remembering.
Like what flag was flying on Bockingham palace or how many amounted police man rode pass us in the Mall ?
