Find a nice smooth, soft grassy hill to practice on so the whole fear of landing on a jagged rock or sharp stick in the eye is gone. And use your front break! That is major. Using your rear break only, just makes you skid and drag that rear tire.The slide sideways and fall down. Stand up, scoot your arse waaay back so you don't endo, and work that front break. Also try to look 6 feet ahead of you. When you look staight down it look like you are going twice as fast as you really are.
