Parents Daughter having a hard time with constructive feedback

[KMC mom]

Hi all,
My daughter is 7 and is three practices in on a level 2 compulsory team. She is having a hard time pushing herself outside her comfort zone and taking constructive feedback to make corrections. The coaches said she is a strong and skilled athlete but struggles with putting in effort to correct when needed. Tonight she ended up crying after a coach was trying to help her form on beam because she said it hurt when she did it (it was a simple standing on toes hoping-I’m not sure the skill since I’m new to all this). I know this is just helping her build her strength and skills , and the coaches are doing it in a compassionate encouraging way. What can I do to help her get outside her comfort zone to improve and get stronger? I’m at a loss because she loves gymnastics but I don’t know how to guide her to making improvements and taking the feedback to help her make adjustments when needed. Any advice is appreciated!

Just because she loved recreational gymnastics, doesn’t not mean that she is going to love competitive gymnastics. . She’ll probably settle in with time, but don’t force her to continue if it’s not making her happy. There is nothing wrong with putting her back into whatever program she was loving before. Good luck
