Hi
I have a few questions.
Em is 10. I noticed starting in Oct she began a huge growth spurt. Grew a couple of inches, went up a jeans size and leo size. She is now closer to the size of her fellow gymmies who are 10. Still the smallest. We started her competiting right in the middle of the growth spurt. It was awful. Every skill was thrown off-shoot through and ROBHs esp. At the time, we didn't know she was in one. We decided to continue training that level but not make her compete it and drop her down. Now Jan is here. We realized she has grown. Her shoot through is back, and is on the way to getting the ROBHs. I've already paid for meets at the lower level. She will have to compete it. But I am wondering if you all have noticed that growth spurts effect them?
Another question, Em has ADHD-inattentive type. She takes vyvanse for this. How do you all handle the medication and gymnastics? Her doc is great with working with us on this.
Oh, both of my girls have a meet next weekend in Baton Rouge. They are super excited.
Thanks
