It took her a while to figure out how to do it - especially because she was concerned she wouldn't have enough time to make the star shape before getting her arms straight down to her sides before entering the water.
But, gradually, she gained confidence and relaxed and did some good star jumps. When I said to her "Well done, that was a good one". She said, "No, that was no good!"
I went shopping today while Steve took the children swimming and when I picked them up she told me she had been showing daddy her star jumps off the board but they weren't very good!! Steve said that she had done some good ones.
But, obviously our daughter is a perfectionist. She really does not get that from me! And, it's kind of hard to work out how to respond to her as that level of perfection is higher than my standard. I guess I'm going to have figure out a strategy if I want her to feel happy with life.
