Watching Dd at gymnastics tonight

[Whatwilltheweatherbetoday]

Dd is 3 years, 9 months. Covid rules have relaxed recently where we are and parents are now allowed in to watch the lesson from windows above. We’d previously had to leave Dd and sit outside.
Age ranges are from her age, although she possibly is the youngest (few others around 4/5 maybe) to age 8.
Watching her tonight and just wondering if her behaviour was ok and looking for opinions.
She had great fun, v excited
and was enjoying it, very good at the activities etc. She participated in all the activities and is great at them, but was really the only one not following instructions properly and going off from the spot she was in to other activities (they were all in different little groups)
The teachers often had to call her and kept having to move her back from where she was to where she was supposed to be.
Everyone else just seemed more compliant and calmer.

Is this just an age thing? Or is it a behaviour/possible Adhd concern?

She’s 4 in July so still little but not 3 anymore,

That doesn't make sense. If she's not 4 until July - she's 3

Age! When my daughter was aged 3 I enrolled her in gymnastics. Never stayed to watch and got only positive feedback. The end of ter show came and parents were invited to watch. My daughter and another 3 year old ran around like wild things. I was mortified and the gym teacher was raging. I then realised.that she was a bit too young and we didn’t go back. She’s 8 and grew up to be very sporty so in lots of teams and classes. Never a problem since. TBH I think the gymnastics people should have advised us to leave her starting for a while. She was the youngest in her class by a couple of years.

I had a similar experience when I went to watch DD’s ballet class. She was 4.5 at the time. I do think kids probably act up more when parents are suddenly there after a long stint of parents not being permitted due to Covid. However, DD’s lack of focus and silliness just made me think ‘what’s the point; she’s not ready to gain much from this yet’ so with her agreement she stopped going.

Six months down the line, she has just started gymnastics and seems much more ready to participate in a class properly though still probably more easily distracted that most.

I’ve also got my eye on DD for adhd, which was the case without the ballet experience but that did add yet another point to the mental list I’ve got of why I think there may be ND at play. If there is, I’m not going to make a massive deal of it but I do want DD to have strategies in place to cope better with school than I did as an undiagnosed child in the 80s.
