Let me start out by saying this question is about my 4.5 year old. She’s been going to this gym for 6ish weeks for a recreational class in the morning. Her coach has recommended that she move to a different class developmental class 2/wk for 1.5hrs each class. My daughter really loves gymnastics, she likes warm ups and is generally excited to try new things in the gym, always wants to go and never gets upset in the gym. HOWEVER... I took her to try out the new class before signing her up and she flipped out during warm ups. This is an evening class so the gym is crowded, a lot of big kids. She comes out. Sobbing & overwhelmed. Eventually she’s coaxed back in and is fine and really enjoys the class, comes out telling me how she won a challenge and seems proud and excited. But now it’s time to actually sign her up and she is so anxious about warm ups again and it’s freaking herself out. I don’t know if I should push her to go for a month to try it out or what. I know she can do the class, but she’s really intimidated with big kids and the crowd. Any advice??? Has your kid gone through this?
PS: Staying in a morning Rec class isn’t an option anyways, it’s all afternoons all summer and she’s starting to move pass the skills in that class. So I’m in a pickle.
