How focused are/were your children at 6 or 7? My dd is 6 (7 in April) and her HC wants her to be more focused and I'm not sure how much to push that because of her age. I'm having a hard time figuring out if she isn't as focused as she should be or if she is simply 6 years old. She pays attention in class, does what she's told, but they say that likes to talk in between skills when they're practicing. Not when there is a line of girls all waiting for a turn, but when the coach is working one-on-one with her, apparently she likes to talk in between each attempt at a skill. They want her to just do what she's supposed to do and not talk. I think some of that talking is her way of dealing with anxiety/stress over learning a new skill and the issues she's having with her coach. It's also her personality, so I have a problem squashing her personality. Also, I noticed when it's open gym time at the end of camp days or things like that, she is more content just playing around (hanging on the rings, swinging from the high bar, pretending to make up a beam routine with only arms !haha) and not necessarily working on skills. Are/were your 6 year olds like that or were they in fact more "focused"? The HC/Owner wants her to be more focused because he says she has a lot of talent and ability and he wants to "fast track" her if she can focus better. But, again....she's only 6!!!! Am I wrong?
