You are doing something in a manner of technique that the human body is not necessarily meant to do (or is natural.) That being said, don't let having small hands serve as a burden at all. I have taught students with huge hands and kids with tiny hands. It boils down to practice, patience, and time. Practice your technique but more over; fall in love with the process of learning.
