What if my child cries?

Most children especially young ones cry in the beginning and that is normal. Young children communicate with adults in a unfamiliar environment by crying it is a normal expression. It is important to remember your child is in a new environment with a strange person and they look to mom and dad for approval. As lessons continue the anxieties become less evident the fun begins. If your child expresses excessive fears it is important to continuing lessons and vital not to stop and continue until they conquer and overcome them. Being positive and giving them praise is the best thing you can do to help them along their learning process.
