[quote=jsmith123]OP my son was very much like this.  We'd do Gymboree classes and all the other kids were following the teacher's instruction, and he was off on his own playing on the free equipment.  I checked in with the staff and they said not to worry about it at all, but it did bother me that he didn't participate more.

We tried a little soccer class and one point, and same thing.  He was running around the field doing whatever when the other kids were participating in the activities.  In that case, he was definitely disrupting the flow of the class so I just pulled him out.  Not as punishment but just because it was clear that he wasn't ready.

Something clicked with him around 3 and he has had no issues since.

If your DD isn't disrupting the other kids, and her lack of participation doesn't bother the instructors, and you are able to check your expectations, then just let her be.

Otherwise, I'd pull her from the classes and just wait another 6 months or so and try again.[/quote]
