    Parents 7 year old with mental block....ugh!

    My YDD just turned 7. She is level 3 and great on floor. She had her ROBHSBHS and FH by 6. The coaches always comment on how strong she is on floor. We were at an open gym a few weeks ago and I think the kids running around scared her. All of a sudden, she can't/won't do a ROBHS. She will...

    9 yr old Level 6s

    With the age changes this year my DD is competing Level 6 as a 9 year old (wouldn't have been able to compete under old rules, she would have been 8). I'm curious if anyone has thoughts on what impact the age change will have on the number of 9 year olds competing Level 6 this year? Do you think...

    WAG 6 year old mental toughness (tears during practice)

    My daughter is in Pre-team and recently has been showing signs of major frustration by means of tears. She holds them back at times, but the coach sees this. Her coaches are tremendously patient and understanding with her. However, it's hard to watch, and it's one of the main reasons she isn't...

    Parents Advice for 13 year old DD that "might want to quit"

    My DD, who just turned 13, came to me yesterday and said "I think I might want to quit", and then burst into tears. I was asking why and she said she didn't know why she was doing it anymore, and she didn't want to get up and go in the mornings, that it doesn't feel as fun as it used to, and it...

    Parents Viewing blocked for 4 year olds.. this is wrong!

    My 4 year old daughter has recently joined a gymnastics class held in a public leisure centre. Now the windows have been completely covered so we can no longer watch her. This policy was imposed because someone, when we aren't there, was filming. This blanket ban effects all, rather than just...

    WAG Avulsion fracture in an eight year old :( Does anyone have experience with this?

    Poor little Puma Jr fell awkwardly from a beam HS last night. It happened right at the end of practice, so when I got there she was icing and elevating. She would not put any weight on it and wanted me to take to her to urgent care, but to be honest I thought she was being a little dramatic! I...

    Coaches Help with 4-5 yr old Boys class

    I've been asked to coach a young beginning boys class once a week for an hour. I can't not seem to keep the boys attention no matter what I do! Boys are so much different than girls.
