As Simple as it looks to me, I don't understand why my child's legs are not straight / toes are not pointed....... Good comment...... but the truth is..... look at how we walk: Heel first / bent leg ........... Now, ..... how many steps do we take in a day???? Multiply that by 365 days in the year --- and multiply again by your child's age.... and this is how many times he / she has trained his / her foot to step heel first..... and now, in a 30 / 45 / 90 min class once a week - this is supposed to be altered??? Practice, practice, practice..... don't let your child just sit and watch tv.... even if it's just at commercials - be sure they have practice time - While they are watching a siblings soccer game... While they are riding in the car..... Instead of fighting with their sibling  :) (You can let them read this last one)
