My daughter takes a ballet class in addition to her gymnastics. She isn't technically required to do it but they "HIGHLY RECOMMENDED" it which basically means, you need to do it. So, my daughter has a great time in class, comes out happy as pie BUT yesterday she had a break down crying yelling about how she didn't want to go because her leg hurt her. (which it wasn't and I know this because she switched which leg hurt) I just don't understand why she doesn't want to go in when she is clearly having fun in class and comes out happy?! My only explanation is maybe it's just too much for her? She gets out of school and we go right to gymnastics, then immediately after gymnastics she goes to dance (it's in the same building) I swear the entire building probably thought I was nuts the way my daughter was acting, as if I was forcing her to go to dance. The problem is I knew she was lying about her leg and didn't want to give in to her and give her the idea that when she lies she gets her way. Now had she said to me. mommy I just really don't want to do today, I would of been okay with it. So after her ridiculous "fit" she went to class, had a great time and came out as happy as a clam. It's just very frustrating! I'm having a hard time deciding whether I should have her stop going to ballet, put her in a regular ballet class on the weekend when she doesn't have gymnastics, or just keep her in the same class and hope it gets better as she does enjoy it once in there. Also there have been times that other girls have been whining about how they don't want to do ballet and a few have stopped doing ballet and she started saying she didn't want to go after they did. Usually she just says she doesn't really want to go but ends up going and has fun. But yesterday was the first time she had a fit. Just not sure what to do. Also the reason I haven't had her go sat instead of after her gymnastics is because this particular ballet class is for the kids in that level gymnastics so all the kids in her class are there. So it might not be the same if she goes to another class and there may be younger kids there and she won't know anyone. It's just so embarrassing having her do that in front of everyone! I really don't want a repeat!
