[QUOTE="busywend, post: 186757, member: 391"] Well, if they count out loud during the dance practice - make her the counter. She will be forced to focus and will learn the dance at the same time. If it is doing the cheer part of a routine see if you can get her to make eye contact and be louder than she is now - maybe a loud contest. Giving her anything to focus on is what she needs. If she has trouble pointing her toes, or holding her hand in the right place - make that her focus. If she is an excellent perfomer and just has trouble focusing it is probably because she is ready to move on...have her help out someone else that is struggling. That is what I did as coach. I had a girl that ended up quitting the program, but her mom thanked me for being so patient with her. Apparently, it was the longest she lasted at any one sport. Her mom says it is due to the patience I showed her. The coach talking about try-outs for 7 year olds isn't going to help. If she was one of my coaches, I would want to know that she said that in an environment that parents overheard and possibly kids, too. [/QUOTE]
