I thought this would be an interesting topic for discussion. Knowing what you know now, would you change anything with the choices that you made for your dds and this sport of gymnastics?
For me, when dd was 6 and asked to join the cheer team, I wish I would have had the insight to research area gyms more. I went into it blindly and the coaching method that the gym used wasn't in my dd's best interest. We left after two years there, but i feel like most of the damage had already been done with her mentally and in regards to her fear issues developing .
I also might have considered staying with gymnastics instead of her joining cheer, but I do feel like the cheer experience helped with her personality growth and showmanship out on the floor.
