I'm with you on just wanting our kids to be comfortable but challenged, and if that means being in an older group, so be it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09926335606872051546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639909808542124326.post-37046209821218275042014-04-19T18:52:46.956-05:002014-04-19T18:52:46.956-05:00If he isn't comfortable, he isn't going to...If he isn't comfortable, he isn't going to want to even go to class. Good for you for having him go back to the 7 and 8 year olds. He is still young for that.Eat To Livehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12851191468716916221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639909808542124326.post-66569446525256338722014-04-19T07:04:10.795-05:002014-04-19T07:04:10.795-05:00I agree - you want them to be comfortable and that...I agree - you want them to be comfortable and that is the most important thing.

Allison leaves frustrated from time to time after a row with her instructor wanting her to catch on quicker. It's sad that they want to churn out all champions.
