Women Opinions on floor music?
Overall I like your music choice but the transition to the other music at 20 and the abrupt ending are awkward. I don't hear any vocals so you are good with that!- NutterButter

Parents New to XCel Bronze - Crying?
OPs kid is 3 practices in!! Give her a chance to adjust. If in several weeks she's still crying then it's time to consider whether she's ready, etc.- NutterButter

Parents New to XCel Bronze - Crying?
Exactly this. And if it is because she's not quite ready for team, time will tell. For now though I'd keep on encouraging and doing what you are doing.- NutterButter

Parents New to XCel Bronze - Crying?
Normal but it's not a gymnastics thing. Some kids just need time to get used to things.- NutterButter

Parents Multiple repeat level 3s who train 16 hours per week
I think it's reasonable to expect one or two in each cohort to need to repeat depending on factors such as when the child started gymnastics and how much uptraining is done. In many gyms upper level optionals train no more than 20 hours/week. More hours in the gym is not always better.- NutterButter

Parents Anxiety new to team
My daughter did this same thing (and still does at age 23). I wouldn't worry about this being a sign that gymnastics is the right sport for her. If anything, she's this worried because gymnastics is 'that' important to her. Just remind her that everyone around her believes in her. Keep the...- NutterButter

Parents Gymnast left out
Hi! Welcome to the CB. I’m so sorry your family has gone been through a rough patch. I understand how a new diagnosis can eat up every family resource and I hope better times are on the horizon for you all. I would look to see if lower cost gymnastics programs exist in your area. Some YMCAs...- NutterButter

Parents Gymnast left out
Ha! I for sure have made things worse by getting involved. Not with my gymnast but with my other kid who was on the other end of things. I seriously think I've made every mistake. OP - the age difference could be it especially if the other group maybe strays a little more mature and your DD...- NutterButter

Parents Gymnast left out
Yes and no. I mean it's not their job to make sure your daughter is being included outside of the gym but at the same time they were sympathetic to how my DD was fitting in and they gave me insight into the situation (if/when I didn't necessarily understand everything) and they would also help...- NutterButter

Parents Gymnast left out
Actually, since we are heading into summer now might be an appropriate time to check in with the coach via quick email especially if you are still trying to understand why your DD is being excluded. From personal experience, the worst is when your kid notices who is going home together after...- NutterButter

Parents Gymnast left out
Depends on the situation ( frequency of being left out, it is really the entire team excluding one, age differences in the group, etc). Focusing on non-gym friends during times of exclusion is helpful but I understand wanting to encourage/fix things with gym friends too. I’ve been in both...- NutterButter

Parents Changed gyms
Goodness. I can think of a certain end pose *I* would want do (that may or may not get me kicked out of an event for children). That coach is creating a lot of hullabaloo for children. I would inform your current gym of the hostility so they can be a little extra alert at the meet. I'm glad...- NutterButter

Parents Change of scenery
I agree with post above! One word of caution, assume that if you let your DD try out another gym for a month that you will not be welcome to return to your old gym should things not work out.- NutterButter
