....and they're not getting it quite right, do you correct them or just praise the effort?
My just-turned-four year old is trying to write her letters and is doing really well, for the most part, but when she's not got it quite right, I've been letting her know and trying to support her to try again - gently, so I'll say "that was a great try, but normally Js go the other way round, shall we try again?"
She's just got quite upset with me and about it and said "but I just want to do it my way!" I feel awful, and the last thing I want is to put her off, so should I just be praising her for trying?
