Hi All,
I'm not sure what to do anymore. My DD - age 8 - is on Pre-team but no matter what I say to her or what her coach says to her - she does stuff like swinging on the rope and jumping up and off of the mats and in general doesn't seem nearly as focused as the other girls (who are actually a little younger than her!).
Sometimes its so bad - that she has to ask what she's supposed to be doing because she wasn't paying attention when the coach was explaining it. It's beyond frustrating as a parent to watch this... She knows she can (always) go back to Recreational gymnastics but every time I bring it up - she says "No Way!" She has a lot of energy and is super strong...and loves gymnastics. (I can't get her to agree to try another sport). But...I just don't know what to do about her being so unfocused and goofing around... I am mean this sport is not cheap!
