I have a 5 yr old DD in reception. She is doing very well academically and is clearly bright ( not G and T though). She does well at school, enjoys crafty things and playing school based things at home. She chooses to do this.. HOWEVER, although she enjoys doing fine motor skills, her gross motor skills are hmm, interesting. She is quite tall and clumsy, seems to lack an awareness of where her her limbs are sometimes! ( not sure if this is relevant), but she she struggles if she finds something hard or fiddly and would rather give up. She had just started a hama bead design earlier and when she accidently kicked it, she refused to try and fix it. This is just an example as she does similar all the time. How do i encourage/persuade her to keep trying even if the desired result does not happen immediately? Her teacher has also noticed she gets worried/struggles if it is a bit harder for her.
