Our sweet Kate has been in dance classes this Summer. It has been so good for her. The first couple classes she wouldn't leave my side. But little by little she did better. She loved doing the dance and knew all the moves perfectly. When it came time for the recital we told her that if she did great and smiled, we'd go out for ice cream. That turned out to be the perfect motivation for her. She did an amazing job. She danced and sang great and, like us, her teachers were so proud of her progress.
Afterward, we told her how amazing she did and asked her what her favorite part was.
Her reply..."Ice cream!"
Okay. So we tried a different approach.
"What was your favorite part of the dancing?"
She thought.
Then said, "Thinking about ice cream?!?"
The moral of our story:
BRIBING WITH ICE CREAM = THE PERFECT LITTLE DANCER!
All lined up and getting ready to dance.
