Parents Considering Gymnastics
Thank you everyone for the replies! I will keep all of this in mind. It is only for fun and I wouldn't force her to do anything she wasn't wanting to do, but I also like to help foster her interesting. Thank you again.- Shinybanana

Parents Considering Gymnastics
My daughter is only 2 and I was wondering what was the general idea on when to start things. We currently do an open gym hour once a week at the local club. We've tried some mama and me classes but I wasn't overly impressed by the class, nor did it seem to be things she didn't already know? We...- Shinybanana
