[quote=Anonymous]Activities at that age are to learn what they may like but also to build a little grit and perseverance. I noticed that my 8 year ild breezes through school and doesn't focus well since she knows how to read and math comes easy for her so far. She takes piano with a pretty serious teacher who only praises actual success and effort. Its one of the few things that DD does thats hard and she has to work at it to succeed. Its also been a great tool to work on perfectionism and anxiety. She starts a new piece, knows its not easy and she cant figure it out at first. But with daily practice and focusing on the hard parts she will figure it out. Its a lot of work for the parent, take to class and make sure the kid practices and provide positive support as to not turn off the interest in an activity. [/quote]
