    Parents Does your child have nagging pain??

    I took DD to the ped yesterday and mentioned her wrists. :( Dr examined her and says she has tendonitis starting in her wrists. I have bad wrists (carpal tunnel) so I am not suprised, I was hoping they wouldnt act up though for her. So she left it up to the coach to decide what we should do...

    Parents Does your gym update you on how your child is doing?

    Parents What advise do you give you child before they compete?

    I always tell my dd- Go Slow (finish every move) Think about what you are doing and how lucky you are to be doing it. Smile (Enjoy) She has a tendancy to rush. Everything looks so much better when you go slow and finish every move. It seems to work for her. She loves performing.
