\"How<\/a>The way Julia dances so naturally I knew her talent was from God.\u00a0 I believe what the bible says in James 1:17 \u00a0\u201cevery good gift and every perfect gift comes from God above.”\u00a0 In a previous post<\/a>, I explained that I prayed for God to reveal all of my children’s talent and I believe one of Julia’s talents is ballet.\u00a0 Being gifted is not easy.\u00a0 When something comes naturally to you, you are too talented to stop but the process of perfecting your gift can be tiresome.\u00a0 \u00a0It is possible to get weary in well doing.<\/p>\n

Here are some tips on how to encourage your child to continue youth ballet<\/strong> before they become weary or if they are showing signs of weariness.<\/p>\n

1. Feed Their Excitement-<\/b>\u00a0 You may be tired at the end of the day but whenever your child wants to show you what they have learned in ballet class, allow them to show you!\u00a0 I am told there will come a time when our children will not be interested in letting us be a part of their lives, somewhere right around adolescents.\u00a0 I do not know about you but I’m striving for little to no regrets with raising my children.\u00a0 A few moments will not hurt you.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Ask Them to Show you what they\u2019ve learned-<\/b> When you inquire about something your child is into they will be eager to let you be a part of their lives.\u00a0 After they show you what they have learned praise them on how well they’ve done it!<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Record Them Dancing-<\/b>This will make them feel special, because you believe they are good enough to be recorded!\u00a0 If possible, sometime later, let them catch you watching the recording of them dancing.\u00a0 This will boost their confidence in ballet.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Spread the News-<\/b> Tell others about how well your child does ballet. As a teacher and a mother, I have learned that whatever expectation you set for a child and have made known to the child is what you will get from the child.\u00a0 If you want your child to perfect their gift you must tell them how well they do it.\u00a0 Everyone enjoys a compliment and children are no different.\u00a0 The more people that are encouraging your child in their youth ballet<\/strong> sport, the more engaged they will become in it.\u00a0 Other people help to reinforce to your child how well they dance and encourage them to do even better.<\/p>\n

5. Attempt to do Ballet with them-<\/b> Children love to teach what they have learned.\u00a0 Let them see how difficult it is for you to do ballet.\u00a0\u00a0 Sports are meant to be competitive, the competition is what drives us to work harder because we want to beat them.\u00a0 The competitive side of your child will arise and they will delight in fact that they can do something that you cannot do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
