    Off Topic "Gifted" Gymnasts

    There are alot of really interesting points that have been brought up. We are currently waiting on the results from our daughter's testing. We are only using the testing as a guide for which type of schooling we will choose. I do not know anything about the gifted programs in our school...

    Off Topic "Gifted" Gymnasts

    Sorry my first post was so vague, I just have a hard time wording things sometimes! These are all great responses. Alot is what I expected to hear. Was asking because my daughter just did a series of academic 'tests' that was recommended for her and we are pretty sure she is 'gifted', but...

    Off Topic "Gifted" Gymnasts

    I am just wondering if any of the gymnasts out there have been "diagnosed" as "gifted"? (sorry, don't really know how to word that, lol) How does everying work together for you? Thoughts? I have seen on other posts that there is a positive correlation between gymanstics and schooling. How...

    Parents Taming the beast !

    It's good to be zen. I hope the feeling lasts! I think that children can be greatly influenced by the attitudes of the adults around them. Like, when you are freaking out they are going to freak out, lol. But we all know how hard that can be sometimes! Also good to see that gymnastics has...

    Coaching Favorites

    How does your DD feel about this? Does she bring it up to you, without being prompted? Does she feel like she is being ignored? If I felt as though it was negatively affecting my DD's time and my money, I would probably say something. I wouldn't outright say, "You're playing favorites!"...

    What have I gotten us into?

    I agree with others who suggested keeping her in the once a week 45 min slot. I completely understand having a little one (3) who wants to be at the gym all the time. She loves gymnasticcs and her coach has asked if we would like to move her to the 4-5 year age group which would be ten minutes...

    New 4 year old gymnast. Please help!

    I can't really answer your questions, however my I am kind of in the same situation. My DD is in a class for 3 year olds, boys and girls. It is 45 minutes and she has alot of fun and loves her coach. We have been told that she can join the 4-5 year old (all girl) class if she wants, and I...

    Parents Reminder for parents - Meet Etiquette

    I would probably throw an internal hissy fit if I was required to pay for a meet (or any event) that my child was participating in! My dauther is only 3 so I am not even sure how it is done around here. I can understand having spectators pay a fee, but parents/caretakers and siblings should be...

    Parents What has being a gym parent taught you?

    This is a really great post! I don't have much to add, as DD's only been in gym for 5 months, but the one thing I can say is. Don't lose your gym reciepts!! UGH! I'm being charged for something I already paid for.....
