My two girls, ages barely 7 and 11.5, have started Xcel Bronze and have been sloppy about staying on the beam. They are capable of doing staying on the beam during their fairly simple routine if they concentrate, but neither of them is solidly paying attention to balance.
I am considering having them work together toward a reward -- five practices each falling off the beam no more than once and you can get a toy/fro-yo/app or something similar. If it were a skill where I thought they had physical limitations and were trying, I wouldn't do it -- but for something like staying focused enough to not fall of the beam as much -- what do you think of offering an external reward?
