[quote=Anonymous]Don't make her do it. She'll freeze onstage and hate every minute. Hard for her, hard for you, and probably also hard for the teacher and other students. I really believe that stage fright is to be respected in little kids, so just tell the teacher your DD wants to bail. It's no biggie. I was at a recital last weekend, incidentally, where a little girl's mom did NOT follow this advice, and her 6-7yo walked out with her arms folded and shoulders hunched, and stood that way the entire performance. Her mother was STANDING in the aisle during her performance, presumably trying to intimidate her into performing, and looked enraged. The dad was also stonefaced. They all stormed out the side door of the auditorium in the middle of the next performance (very distracting for those poor little dancers). Not good. [/quote]
