Well, there are more risks associated with doing gymnastics at home and being self taught than actually in a class! No offense to self taught gymnasts, it's just more risky. And any sport can damage your body! I started having back problems when I was a swimmer, not a gymnast! Good luck talking to her!

Sure, gymnastics can put stress and damage on your body but it also puts even 10x more MUSCLE, COORDINATION, and FLEXIBILITY. Every single sport has risks, but not many sports engage every single muscle in your body. Find a good quality gym and pay a visit with your mom. Have the head coach walk her through the gym, show all the padding and mats everywhere, the certified and safe equipment, and talk about the certified and well trained coaches (any good gym will have all of those things)

Best of luck
