Dd is 5 and asked for ages to try ballet, she loves to dance, but is very high energy, not massively great at following strict rules, so I thought she may not enjoy. I let her have a try anyway and she did four lessons, she had some friends there and enjoyed it the first few, but last week, days before ballet, she started asking me if she had to go to ballet. I asked if she liked it and she said she liked seeing her friend from school and didn’t want to stop because it might make her friend sad, but that it was a bit hard and she didn’t like it and didn’t want to go. I asked her if she was sure/if she wanted to try one more time etc and she said she didn’t. I messaged the ballet teacher, who is an excellent teacher from Russia, but strict I feel for little ones. I apologised and said I don’t think it really suits Dd and there was no point doesn’t something she doesn’t like 100%
She didn’t reply for a couple of days, but then sent a message saying she was disappointed that she was just giving up and feels that a child like my Dd would benefit from discipline and that we can’t just give up on things in life…she’s 5 years old
Who is right here?
