[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is devastated by her role. 3rd year in a row. Tough season ahead. [/quote]

What is she? [/quote]

Flower Page. [/quote]
I’m sorry. That’s tough for a young girl. DD was a page, and it’s high visibility but boring. And you have to stay there the entire time on stage sitting on uncomfortable seats watching all the other kids have fun on stage. They should put a limit of two years that a kid can play a role.[/quote]

I agree this is a tough one. ANY role at the third year for a child—in this context where they are all looking ahead to see what they can advance to—can be demotivating. Donna is a class act, I bet she could help you with a perspective to spin to your DD. [/quote]

Yes, agreed. This is tough. The role seems great in many ways — the stage time, finale, etc — but also limiting. You could maybe liken it to Clara and the young Prince in some ways who end up watching a good bit of the show as well. I know they have more substantial dancing parts earlier on, but the latter part of the show they mostly observe. I’m sorry. I get it. [/quote]

DP. I had a flower page last year there was no amount of spinning that could make my child see this role differently. We tried but this group is too old to fairy tale them out of it. She danced more as a Snow Angel and telling her otherwise just made her feel gaslit. I finally agreed with what she was saying but to be a sport and that helped turn her around. [/quote]
