    Thank you! That is part of my concern. She is learning these things on her own and I'm sure not with the proper form. I've tried to help as much as possible, but I don't know anything about it haha. So I would love for her to work on these things in a controlled environment, with the proper...

    Haha ya for sure. The gym we're at has that program as well. She's just advanced through the classes quickly. She can do things like standing back walkovers, chin up pull overs, and back hip circles. She loves it!

    That seemed a bit unnecessary. I took advice, including from you earlier in the forum, and went back and talked to the gym manager about my concerns. We talked it through and came up with an action plan. I appreciate the advice. I took the advice and made a decision. I came back on here to...

    Well she does come home from school and does gymnastics for about an hour before we go, then goes for an hour, and then comes home and does it for another hour or two. She loves it. We aren't forcing her to anything. I am trying to protect her. Which is why I came here to ask about it, because...

    Im definitely worried about the length of the class and I've shared my concerns with the gym. They think she's ready to try, and if she doesn't like it , we can move her back down or try the level 2 at a reduced amount. Would there be any reason or incentive for the gym to push her up to the...

    Just a quick update here. Talked to the manager. We are moving her up to advanced, which will be two classes per week at 1.5 hours each class, until January. That way she is gradually increasing time and learning new skills. They still want to work with her on the team and think it would be a...

    Agreed with swim lessons. She's been in those since she was 11 months. She has also excelled there and loves it! Thank you for the advice!

    Thank for your advice. This is definitely how I'm feeling. When they said move her up a level, I just thought they meant to the next level in rec. Was definitely surprised when they wanted to go straight to level two. She is already in swim. She has also done soccer and dance. She's not too...

    My 3 year old absolutely loves gymnastics. She goes twice a week and comes home every day practices as long as we'll let her. She's very gifted athletically and in size (she's the size of a lot of the 5 and 6 year olds). She was moved through classes very quickly. She got moved up to the class...
