DS has been at the same gym for 4 years. He is 8 and at this point in his life the coaching style is not a good fit for him. I am making the parental decision to move him to another gym. The new gym is considerably closer to our home and both gym owners are friends. I don't believe there will be big drama with the coaches, but my kids wants no part of a move. He is comfortable, his friends are there... However, I see a change in his post practice behavior that has me concerned that the high pressure gym is not a good fit RIGHT now.
The question is how do I tell him, and make it happen. I have current coach setting up the trial with new coach (yes I know this is unusual). I am planning to tell him that the change is for adult reasons and I am sorry that he has to adjust, but I have faith it is for the right reasons. How long after a change did you know you made the right decision? How long did it take for your kid to adjust?
