DD 4 is soooo close to getting her FHS. We have a bar at home and she practices and practices and practices until I have to make her stop. She just can't quite get it yet. She just doesn't seem to get around enough. She ends in a chin-up position with the bar about upper chest level and she tries to pull herself up but then falls. Suggestions? Thoughts?
I know many of you have been there and watched your little ones struggle with skills so you understand. I know it will just happen one day. Her pullover was a just recently acquired skill and it was quite ugly. Now a week later she looks like she's been doing them her whole life.
The hardest part is wanting to help her because she's frustrated and asking me to help her, but having no clue what to tell her!
The funniest part to me is that she's had a bar for quite awhile, but she never practices. It was taken apart and in the garage. I really can't remember the last time she ever asked me to get it out. I can't leave it out because we don't have the room. On Thursday one of her friends got her FHS and then DD came straight home and asked me to put her bar up and hasn't stopped practicing since. It's strange for me to see my 4 year old being competitive. I didn't really think she had thoughts like that at this young age.
