Happened to a 3yo Liebs. Moving centres was the best thing for him.

Age 7, he now Hama Beads like a 4yo girl. We got there! But best of all, he has had fun getting there and still have fun. And sitting still is a silly target for an under-10.

I think that cuddles and love are the best thing in all situations: they model desired behaviour. Plus encouraging sedentary behaviour at a young age contributes to the obesity problem. Not cool, nursery.

I do disagree with teaching a girl in a sedentry way cos she will comply and it's easier for teachers. Who doesn't learn better hands on? I teach girls hands on and they enjoy it. And learn well too.
