Which is why I want to disagree somewhat with the theory of "Let one instructor do the instructing". In fact, when I instruct a new student, one of the first things I do is to have him go up with several instructors.
While I agree with this I've seen this cause problems for very young flyers.
Whem my then 10 YR old daughter started out with one instructor, she did quite well as she was picking up every proceedure and direction he gave her.
A few sessions later she was paired with another instructor.
This lead to frustration, desperation and some tears, as from her perspective everything she was doing was now wrong. She wanted to quit after that.
Kids have a hard time dealing with a moving target.
After being repaired with the original instructor life was good again.
I felt very bad for the second instructor, he was both good and knowledgeable, but just did everything differently than the first. He felt compelled to apologize, but he did NOTHING wrong ( I let him know this... )...
