Parents punishment

When that weight lifts, that’s when you really know it was the right call. Best of luck!

I am glad you left. I hope you find a new gym that is a great fit!

It's hard to take that step but you will be so grateful down the road. The other things will fall into place.

Nope, not ok and you're not overreacting. I coach a lot of 7yo in our preteam and early compulsories and I could not imagine my coworkers expressions if I "punished" a child by sitting them in splits for 30min...! Yup, you could get a rope climb, some V-ups, some leg tighteners or sprints (depending on what you need a reminder for or redirection...) but nothing that would be anything but beneficial in the end no matter how boring.. !

Good for you! I'm sorry you are having to deal with this, especially when you thought this was the right gym for you. You are sending a very powerful message to your DD on not accepting behavior that is abusive and demeaning. I hope you find a new gym soon. Keep us updated!

I’m glad you got out of there! Definitely not overreacting.

And this is what was one of the main decider factors, I can not, in good conscious, hear my child's words and see her tears, and let her stay in an environment that is teaching her this is ok. I'm her parent and need to watch out for her.

We're taking the next couple of weeks off for a break and will figure out the future then. Meets or no meets, doesn't matter at this point.
Thank you!

You did the right thing. You got her out of an unhealthy (and IMO dangerous) environment and you also just demonstrated to her that you are listening to her and will do what is necessary to keep her safe.
