Yup... Can be frustrating sometimes.... However we all know, that the younger they start (within reason) the longer they stay in our schools. Training just becomes a part of their life......just like school etc....(Which is really what we're trying to accomplish) Anyway...a REALLY effective "paradigm" in these classes is to give them a solid example to model. For example, a REALLY good 5 year old form the older kids class, etc..... When the students have a good example to model that they can personally identify with (rather then only the instructor).....the better they'll perform. AND, that example will also show the parents what their child can/will accomplish in your class. Hope it helps!!
