My daughter has been competing with this new established team for a year now. All of the other girls have been together for at least 2 years prior. She has expressed to me that she doesn't feel supported like the other teammates, for example when there is a fall from the beam...the team rushes to their teammate to show concern, but this doesn't happen with my daughter, everyone carries on like nothing happened. She has also had several falls from the high bar and is now afraid and lacks confidence to try. She has asked her coach for a spot, but the coach replies that they don't spot for comfort. This is confusing to me as a parent, particularly when other teammates are spotted by the coach during floor routines at competitions.
As a parent, I've encouraged my child to stay positive and keep going in spite of these unfavorable situations.
I could use some advice on how to navigate thias as she is now disengaging and regressing with her skills.
