Just found this site

[B&M's mom]

Hi,

I just joined after finding this site this week. I'm the very proud, but equally terrified mom of two gymnasts, DD #1, age 10 who will be competing Level 8 and just qualifed for TOPS national testing and DD#2 who is 7 and will be competing GIJO Level 4. DD#1 loves any and all gymnastics and has decided to pursue the upper levels which means huge changes. DD#2 loves gymnastics right now but, knowing her, will find something else down the road.

I'm just trying to be supportive of both without becoming the pushy mom I know I can be.

Lovely to have you join us on the Chalkbucket, we have many great parents here who are dealing with the same issues as you. I am sure you'll be a great help to each other.

This is me EXACTLY. It's definitely hard trying to step back and not be that pushy parent.

Welcome to CB! It's a fun place with many, many knowledgeable people on here.

Welcome! I noticed you are from Illinois, so are we. It will be great to have a fellow state competitor on here! Good luck to your two DDs this season.

Welcome to CB! Great site full of very knowledgeable people at all different levels of this crazy sport. I have 4 beautiful children, 2 boys and 2 girls. Only one is a gymmie. She is 9 years old and competing level 7 this year. Welcome!

Welcome to cb! My gymmie is also a 10 yo level 8 who is headed to TOPs in October.
May you find wisdom and support here; I sure have!
