According to my daughter(2nd grader),she and bunch of 4-5 same age girls play jumprope at school. 2 kids turn the rope round while others take turns jumping in the middle. My kid is not so good at it, so they have her "miss" her turn, and go back to the end of the line. She's tried talking to them, and saying it's not fair, and said sorry for not being good at it too! Nothing has worked so far.
I know it is not a big deal, will pass. But,what can I do to help her?
- Practice jumprope at home. (we are working on it)
- Tell the kids nicely & firmly 'it is my turn'(doesn't work)
- Play with other kids. (says she wants to jumprope)
- is there another kid also not so good at it (support each other)
- Help her identify another game she'd like to play at recess.
I don't want to encourage tattling or solve her problems for her. I said I'd help her come up with options. Help, please?
Any simple but doable options?
