I'll start off with some good news. DD4 is learning a back handspring
Now some bad news. I went to DD1, DD3, and DD4's practice tonight. I was watching the level 4's on floor and my DD was up. She was the last one to go. Coach gave her a lot of complements and smiles (which is hard to do because HC is very HARD to please.) They sat down in a group discussion, and HC yells a lot so I could hear everything HC was telling them. She said "All of you were sloppy, sloppy, SLOPPY! Hannah (DD3) did so much better. She was tight and pointed and not a lose limb in sight. She is only 5 years old and not even competing yet! How does that make you feel?"
DD3's face dropped. I was trying to keep the "not competing" thing on the down low. Since she is only 5 she will not be able to compete. She knew, but I never talked about with her. HC made the whole L4 team do conditioning and DD3 got to pick an event for her to only work on as a gift. At the end, some of her friends were in tears, others blamed it on her. DD3 was in hysterics and says she doesn't want to go back to the gym on Sat.
Help please!
