At 10, she's at an age when a lot of kids start to realize they can actually get hurt. I had read somewhere there's a philosophy of gymnastics coaching where they try to teach them as many big skills as possible while still pre-puberty, before fear kicks in. So maybe the age, but maybe also her level. At level six, things start to get crazy skill-wise. Real scary, risky stuff. I personally knew several gymnasts who quit around age 10-12/ level 6/7. Also they start to really compare themselves to other girls. With my daughter the comparison thing is a bit delayed because of the spectrum disorder, but the concept of risk and injury is definitely kicking in. Although mine is in xcel silver so skills are still pretty basic. Just some food for thought.
