    Parents First Injury!

    Sounds like the cast may have slipped if she can move around in it, it happens pretty often when kids walk on them. I have a ds with clubfoot so we know leg casts well he kicked one completely off as a baby lol. You may want to see if it has if so they would likely redo it.

    Parents Confession time- who's Dd's have extra Leo's? :)

    Parents How old was your child when you knew you had a gymnast?

    My dd has always been a monkey climbing everything crawling and walking very early. We started mommy and me classes when she was two, and she has loved it for the two and a half years she has been doing it.

    Parents Confession time- who's Dd's have extra Leo's? :)

    DD has quite a few she doesn't like toys so they are a good go to gift for birthdays and Christmas, and I also make them for her so she is always asking me to make more.

    WAG Gymnastics prevented an injury!

    Yikes glad she is ok! My little one is learning how to ride a bike without training wheels and every time she puts her hand down while falling off she goes into a handstand lol.

    WAG Just curious, event coaches or level coaches?

    At our gym there are only five coaches all together. One for preteam, one for levels 2-3 and then two that teach 4-6 not sure how they split them up, and the HC coaches all the girls 7-10 there are only 4 of them.

    WAG Question about pullover

    My dd is the same way she is doing a long hand pullover since she is too short to reach the bar lol. She still gets stuck for a few seconds like that but it is a much shorter time the more she has practiced. She also moves her hands from over the bar to under when she is over the bar like that...

    Parents Vegetarian gymnasts

    My daughter doesn't do a bunch of hours right now but we are vegetarian almost vegan (we eat pastured eggs) I think if her blood levels look good you are doing great getting her what she needs. I just end up paying a little bit closer attention to what my kids are eating to make sure they are...

    WAG Gym has two JO comp training paths?

    Our gyms I guess you could call it pre team they are getting the girls ready to compete around level 4 ideally only goes 2 hours a week and all of the girls are picking up skills at a decent pace and getting very strong. I am sure more hours would have them progressing more quickly but our gym...

    Parents Do you do anything to help pay for your gymnast's "habit"?

    I am a full time student so I am not doing a job outside the home right now but do run a small business sewing children's clothing that I have been doing for four years. Working at home allows for a lot of flexibility but it also means I am up most of the night working. Sewing pays for both...

    Parents First World Problem.... :-)

    I think the damage is something that depends on the person with the silicone ones. Dd only wears them a few times a week with no issues and I never take them out unless I am sleeping my hair drives me nuts when it's down so I always have it in a bun or pony, and have no damage. I do know a...

    Parents Practice at Home

    Thank you she hasn't so far tried anything they don't already work on in class, she isn't one to want to watch other kids older than her much or tv or youtube about gymnastics so hopefully that will help her not get too many big ideas about "tricks" above her level.

    Parents Practice at Home

    Thank you guess I should add to that I am not directing this and she is in the gym two hours a week right now which she feels is not fair lol. I don't critique or try and help her with any of the things she does but do supervise her on the door bar, and I don't know if she is doing them correct...

    Parents Practice at Home

    So I have read a bit on some things here not to allow your children to do at home. My child is crazy as I am sure many kids in gymnastics are at home. She is not learning a lot of things that really could be deemed dangerous I don't think yet but would like to know for now and future reference...
