Default Re: Dance Class Anxiety??

My son was the same with T ball. He would be so excited, but then on the day of, he'd rather just be home playing.

I don't know what this particular problem is, but the one thing I am enforcing with my kids is that we don't quit once we make a commitment to do things. If we sign up to do something, we're going to stick it out. Sometimes he'll start building a lego plane with the instructions, and then after 5 minutes, he wants to do something else because it's a challenge. I don't let him, and encourage him to keep plugging away. By the end, he's so happy he finished.

I know this isn't REALLY related to the dance, but in a way it is because I don't think parents should let their kids quit activities....I think it teaches them a bad lesson about commitments.
