In teaching and coaching juniors here are some things that parents really want to be aware of. One, make it an environment that is safe for them emotionally as well as physically. In this game you are going to hit a lot of bad shots and you will probably lose more tournaments and events that you actually play in. So can you actually have an emotionally safe environment where you get rewarded for trying, doing the right things and continuing the process. That is what the real aspect of playing golf is and those are the real skills you can learn. The other thing is can you teach the kids to have fun playing the game. I like to have them play early and learn late. What I mean by that is have them get out and experience playing the golf course, hitting the ball around, even if the do not have the prefect grip or the perfect posture or the perfect swing. They can learn that as they go along, they can learn it later, perhaps when their bodies are bigger and stronger and more mature, better able to handle the swinging of the golf club.
