My daughter is 5 and is doing a class that is similar to pre-team but it's for 4-6 year olds. It's higher than an advanced rec team and normally kids in this class skip pre-team and go right to level 4 the next year. At least that is how the coaches explained it to me. Anyway, the woman who was coaching the girls in the beginning was really fun and enthusiastic and the girls loved her, especially my daughter. Then she ended up switching and another coach ended up teaching my daughter. This one is more serious and well less fun. My daughter was so upset and actually was pretty much refusing to go to class for like 3 classes. She ended up going but fought me. Once she was in class she had fun and after the third time she was fine and hasn't been fighting me since then but it clearly isn't as fun for her without the teacher she had before. She really misses her old coach and so I was thinking maybe she could do private lessons with her like once a week or every other week, just so she gets to see her still. When I asked my daughter if that was something she wanted to do she was really excited and wanted to do it. My question is, do you think this is too much for a 5 year old? She goes to class twice a week for an hour and a half and has ballet one of those days after gymnastics for 30 mins. It has been rough for her to go from summer time to kindergarten and having class. I pick her up after school, bring her home to get dressed and have a snack, and then drive to her gym. It's also a 20 min drive. By the time we get home it's 6:30, so she eats dinner, gets ready for bed, and goes to sleep. So it's pretty much, school, gym, bed, 2 days a week. Am I crazy or doing way too much when she is just 5 by adding a private lesson another day of the week? This coach can't do sat as she is there all day and sun she can only do once in a while. So that would add another day of school and the gym. I don't want to push her too hard but I also think she would really enjoy getting some one on one time with this coach.
