[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your daughter is not engaging in silly behavior, she’s been actively defiant multiple times and showing a lack of respect for the adult in this situation. The fact that you’re appalled by writing sentences and think this behavior is ok just says it all. Your defiant 1st grader will turn into an even more defiant 11th grader if she doesn’t learn to follow rules and how to respect authority. You’re in for a long 11 years if you think this behavior is at all acceptable [/quote]

The behavior sounds very normal for a child of that age. It also is not acceptable for the gymnastics team that she is on. The OP needs to accept that her daughters behavior needs to change for this activity. Kids in more competitive programs need to learn to concentrate and control their behavior at an earlier age then many of their peers.

DS is in a language immersion program. The Teachers were all very clear that the kids would need to do a good job of concentrating and listening in first grade because of the extra work that needs to be done. The Teachers are strict. The class drops in size pretty quickly because not every kid is capable of being that focused at 6. There is nothing wrong with the kids, the expectations are higher and not every 6 year old can meet those expectations.

Your daughter might not be ready for this level of commitment. I suspect that the Coach is coming close to telling you that she is going to have to leave the program because of her behavior. Remind your daughter that she needs to stay focused and follow the rules otherwise she cannot stay in this class. [/quote]
