Hi Fellow Parents,
I'm new here officially after lurking for several weeks. What a great source of support for each other and our children. - Thanks CB!!!
So on to my question. My DD just turned 6 and is in kindy. She started at our club 14 mo. ago in a pre-school class. Over the summer she was moved up to Level 1. She was there only 4 weeks before moving up to a new class and new coach. The class isn't level 2 but called "Little Advanced". Essentially she has now been in this class with this coach for 5 mo. Her skill set however does not match the more advanced girls that were already in the class. What's even more difficult is the several that ARE more advanced, are the one's getting all the coaches attention. It's gotten so bad now that when she is struggling with an exercise, coach will look at her and walk around her instead of correcting her form. So while others her age are perfecting press handstands, my DD and others are still working on headstands. I'm very frustrated and she's starting to get discouraged because she isn't getting help. My thoughts are to request to move her back to her prior level 1 coach for the remainder of the year. She really liked that coach and it would restore some of her confidence. Any suggestions or experience would be greatly appreciated!!!
