My 8 year old DD is having body image issues lately, saying her legs and arms look fat. This is devastating for me to hear because she is so beautiful and strong and thin. I tell her all the time how beautiful, strong, healthy, talented, smart, etc she is. I would love to hear from other...
I am wondering; what are the chances of my DD, who is a 10 year old level four, ever making it to collegiate gymnastics? She does beautiful routines and averages 36 AA, but is just short of the free hip on bars to compete level 5. When I read on here about 10 year old level 9's, I feel like...
Finally talked my other half into letting my 5 year old do gymnastics. Her preschool teacher told me I "had to do something" about her at school. During play time she climbed onto the playhouse roof to balance of course scaring the lady to death. Flipping over a trapeze bar okay normal kid...

My daughter is 7. And three quarters! And she has developed knee pain. Right in front of her knee, that came on out of nowhere but not really gradually. There was no injury I mean. She is going through a growth spurt for sure as in the last few months she has gained 6 pounds and 1.5 inches (this...
My dd is a new level 4 gymnast. She is really starting to have back pain doing bridges, back bends, back handsprings, etc... She also complains of ankle pain when tumbling and wrist pain when doing back handsprings. Does anyone have any recommendations for doctors in Boston? Do I take her to a...

What do you think it could be? Its been hurting recently. Its been a come and go thing. I will go to the doctor soon but I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what it could possibly be. Its all in my lower back like I can't bend over without pain. Its about a 5-9 on a scale of 1-10...

My daughter just turned 6 (yesterday) and has been in gymnastics for about 6 months. She started in level 1, then in June was moved up to "Hotshots" (I guess it's an advanced class for kids that are picking up skills faster than average). Last night, the team coach filled in for her regular...
My daughter will be 11 in September and will be competing level 9 this season . I just found out she's suppose to train 4hours x4 days a week and 5 hours on Saturday totaling 20 hours a week. She has been doing that over the summer but she will be starting a new middle school in the fall . How...
She started complaining just after State that her Ankle hurt all the time. Come to find out, back in March, while at a Cheer competition, she rolled her ankle pretty bad, and didnt really tell anyone. She just pushed through it.
So, since she was hurting, we held off on Nationals this...
My 10 yr old daughter has been in gymnastics since 5 yrs old. She quickly showed a talent for it and progressed very quickly, joining the team and started competing in 1st grade. We are not in the US so the system is very different.
She loved it and couldn't get to the gym fast enough! She has...
I admit it, part of the reason I take my kids to gymnastics is because that *I* want to play too. And our gym has a drop-in adult class, but I'm a little scared to go. I'm 38 years old, I can do a cartwheel and I'm in pretty good shape (I lift heavy weights at the gym) but I'm still nervous...
