[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A 4 year old? That's ridiculous. I say cancel. [/quote] +1 The parents chose a type of activity that's not appropriate for children this age who don't already at least know how to stay upright on skates. No support aids? No instructor doing a kid-friendly lesson in a roped-off area of the ice? Tell the parents oops, turns out you goofed by replying yes and can't make it that day. Don't over-explain or they'll just get defensive or embarrassed. "Sorry but I didn't realize we have a family event that same day." It's true because you will be...with your kid doing something that won't end in frustration and stress. Your child is still young enough that you can not go and your child shouldn't throw a fit about missing out. Do something your kid enjoys as a distraction. [/quote]
