    Parents Clothespin Trend

    This. The peg thing started organically and then spread mostly by itself, as soon as the grown-ups start saying "WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS" it becomes a very different kettle of fish.

    Parents How many hours per week (UK)

    Enough for what? There are kids her age in recreational classes cheerily doing 45 minutes a week, others on competitive squad pathways doing eight or more hours. Last time I checked, BG's official guidance for coaches said that 8-10 year olds should be doing no more than 10 hours a week. It's...

    No sarcasm. It's very soothing. ASMR and all that.

    WAG Moving to Europe

    ." Europe has more than 40 countries that are home to more than 40 different gymnastics governing bodies with more than 40 different ways of doing things. The only certain thing is that wherever you end up there will be a level that matches the level your girls are at now, skill-wise. What it...

    Parents Should we return to practices yet?

    Absolutely agree. The kid's EIGHT YEARS OLD, missing a couple of practices because she has a horrendous cough that's left her wiped out and falling asleep is not going to cost her an Olympic medal. Not to mention the risk of passing on an infection to her coaches and teammates.

    Parents Travel Distance for a gym

    Longer commute = more time for my kid to eat something on the drive there after school. That's how I make myself feel better about it anyway!

    Coaches Gymnast mum clueless lol

    This thread started back in August and I hit the popcorn every time it drifts back across the "new posts" list and now that it's nearly December I'm kind of fascinated to find out how things turned out.

    Parents Parent interaction

    Exactly this. The girls spend hours together and know each other really well, the parents see each other really briefly at pick-up and mainly just communicate via the squad WhatsApp group.

    Parents Best strong hold hair products!

    Just wanted to say that one of the reasons I really like this site is that, four years after the conversation was held, it was you guys who solved my months-long struggle to get my kid's ultrafine hair under control. And if anyone wants to buy shares in the company that makes Got2b I'm going to...
