My daughter just competed level 6 and is training level 7. Up til now, most skills came with just a little work...meaning she really didn't have to spend a lot of time getting them. She's not a perfectionist and does not enjoy always having to do the same thing over and over to perfect them. Hence where she's a worker but not a hard worker. Well my daughter really wants to get to level 7 but doesn't understand that it takes HARD work, she just expecting a skill to come...like the rest with normal level work and well I know it's not that easy. I am trying to explain to her it's going to take hard work and she just looks at me like duh...I am a hard worker....but when I watch I don't see her as a "hard" worker....I see that see works but she could push herself harder. Hope that makes sense. Normally I just don't care but b/c she wants to get to 7 I get a little more involved....and try to explain things to her and then I come off as not being supportive or not believing in her. I get frustrated b/c I know with more effort and pushing herself, she can do it. Any advice how to explain to her the difference btwn work and hard work. She's 10 and does okay at meets...I'd consider her average...could be better if she learned to work hard and perfect her stuff...LOL.
I am trying to back off and just let it go but I want her to understand what I am talking about...
thanks
