5yr old daughter

I bought her a set of clubs for Christmas, she shows a lot of interest, but how to I go about teaching her the correct swing??

Her arms go limber in her back swing. Any ideals??

I have a 5 yr old also and we bought him a set of clubs this summer. My thought is to just let him have fun and learn to enjoy the game. I can give him help in bits and pieces and I think that eventually he will start asking for more help. I can't see myself as one of those drill sargeant parents who pushes their kids super hard. When he's asking for help then I'll know he's interested in putting in the effort. I will encourage him in this direction but not push too hard. Right now, I do things like help him make sure he's lined up in the direction he wants to hit the ball, slow him down, and other simple stuff. He gets a kick out of just making contact.

So, my advice to you is don't push your daughter to become good at the game for your sake, allow her to learn to love the game for her own interests.
