This is very common, and we know how to help! New group activities can be overwhelming for young children.
- Don’t Force It: We never force participation. Let your child join in when they feel comfortable.
- Watch Together: Encourage them to sit with you and watch the session like it’s a fun show or play. Ask them questions about the story to keep them engaged mentally.
- Trust the Process: Our coaches are trained to connect gently and will check in periodically. Often, the engaging stories and seeing other kids have fun will draw them in naturally when they feel safe and ready. Sometimes this takes several weeks!
- Keep Coming: Consistent exposure is key. They are learning and absorbing even when just observing. Often, they’ll start practicing things at home first.
Your patience and trust in the process allows your child the time they need to build confidence and join the adventure!
