Behaviour

It’s normal. They are just exploring everything and developing their personalities

Don’t worry! Little ones sometimes have to go to these things a few times to learn what the expectations are. It’s great that the other kids are doing as asked and consider them your LOs role models 😊 I’m sure if you speak to whoever is running the session they will have seen it all before and hopefully they’ll offer you some reassurance also xx

My little girl was like this when I first took her to gymnastics and I assumed the same! But we’ve kept going and she’s slowly started to follow instructions and copy the other kids. Since speaking to other parents they have said their children were the same if not worse when they first started which was reassuring 🙊 I think on most occasions it’s just a learning experience or something they aren’t used to. For my little girl it was the first class she’d done that was more structure than play. I would say just give it a few more tries and I bet you see a big difference 😁

@Kerry thank you that’s reassuring xx

We took my almost 23 month old to his first class this morning too & he was the same! Just running around with the ball wanted to do his own thing 🤣 towards the end he was copying and waited his turn to kick the ball into goal but I think it’s just one of them things where they have to go a few times to know what they’re expected to do! It’s just all new to them atm xx

@Claire good idea xx

@Olivia yes think you’re right xx

Honestly my boy is the same. I hate it because i always feel like im doing something wrong. But hes testing the boundaries and becoming the little monkey that we love xx

@Jessie glad it’s not just mine then!! Thank you for sharing xx

This is so normal!! we did the same and ended up taking our little boy out because it was a waste of money for the time being. He just wanted to spin the balls and throw everything else around

My son is the same, he's never been one for many structured classes/groups. He'd much rather run around and do his own thing, so I just let him explore things his own way 😊

My little boys football is like this all the time! He got better with time but we’ve been going for months and you can see every kid has their week where they go wild and then the next week they are listening etc! I think it depends on their mood, how they feeling etc! They will settle but it’s totally normal! Last weekend my little boy spent the whole time outside in the reception of the primary school where the football is lol

@Andrea thank you this makes me feel better that he’s not the only one!! xx
