Hello! Will gyms automatically move your child up when ready? Or do you have to ask?
We've been sitting back and letting the gym do their thing... We are clueless parents when it comes to gymnastics. We don't know anything! So we just sit back and enjoy watching our daughter. . She LOVES gymnastics, she beams the entire time, and is disappointed every time they say class is over. SO glad we found something she loves!
Our daughter is in low level rec classes. We've noticed she is way better than the other kids, but we thought that was normal for a kid to be more athletic. Well, now parents of kids in higher/advanced classes have started asking us why she isn't in a higher class, some even saying our daughter is better than their kids. We thought maybe it's because she is tiny for her age? Or because she is overly brave and might hurt herself? Or something else? Maybe because we moved from out of state? The skills are there... we started paying attention now and she is definitely ahead of the kids not only in her class, but also in the next class up.
Do we just sit tight and wait on the gym to tell us to move her up? Or do we ask to move up? What's normal?
