My Little Monkey's first level 4 meet resulted in a 27-ish AA and probably 3rd from last place. For my 6 year old, she had the "funniest" time and got a pretty purple ribbon (for placing some event). We had ice cream too. Fast forward 6 years. She is now in her first level 9 season. It's been a long road, but of her 14 Level 4 teammates, she is the ONLY ONE still in the sport! Gymnastics is a marathon, and you cannot stress the small stuff.
Your DD is young, i hope she can see the fun and her own improvements and progression, and not worry so much about scores and place. I know kids put a lot of pressure on themselves, but as parents we have a job to keep them focused on something other than just the numbers.
