    Women Eleven year olds

    Is it just my DD or is this an extremely frustrating age for gymnasts? She always upset about one skill or another. I'm so sick of hearing it the last few weeks. It's taking everything I have not to just tell her to quit already. Sorry, mom rant.

    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...

    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).

    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.

    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.
