I've avoided commenting on this for a while for fear of sounding like an arsehole to a kid, but the dance posts give me such second hand embarrassment. Darcy was taking grade 1! For context, my daughter is the same age as Darcy and, realistically, is only average at ballet. She has just taken grade 3 and is now in the grade 4 class.
Now, I'm not saying Darcy is behind - everyone does grades at different times. But Louise's comments about Darcy having something 'that can't be taught' and crying with joy that she got a distinction when others taking that exam will have been 6/7 year olds is too much to bear silently.
Just let her enjoy her hobby!
