Ds age 4 has recently started football sessions for 4-6 age group.
Like lots of 4 year olds he's not always amazing at following instructions, listening and concentrating.
He really wanted to go but the first week was too shy to join in, now he is joining in but he doesn't really 'get it'. He will join in and do well at some of the activities but at other times gets distracted or doesn't understand what he's supposed to be doing. He's only been for 3 sessions and dp thinks there's no point as he's too young and has decided ds isn't really 'interested' in football. He also said it might help if we had more football on the tv but that's another story.
I think that while ds wants to go he should be encouraged even if he doesn't get it perfect all the time. I think it will help him to learn to listen, build his confidence and hopefully help to improve his concentration.
My point of view is if he keeps going he will get better and yiou have to start somewhere but dp just thinks that he's too young.
I feel as though dp always focuses on the negative instead of looking at the positives.
