Now My Husband is Worried

[Shelovesthebars]

My husband who has always been super supportive of our 5 year old's gymnastics, doesn't complain, and just write's the checks now has some concerns about what my dd is doing in the gym. Without getting into specifics, what should a 5 year old not be doing?

At that age, personally I generally think that just not overstressing the joints is important. From what I recall, your daughter does pretty low hours. By 5, I wouldn't say any certain thing (within reason, shouldn't be like throwing them into crazy stuff), so within the compulsory levels, should be banned from practice, just that caution should be exercised not to overdo it. So trying to stay away from hard landings and tumble on more forgiving surfaces, don't overdo the arching, etc. And not high hours of pounding.
