I have learned so much from this site. This is my first time posting.
DD (just turned 9) who just completed level 4 has decided to quit. She decided this right after she learned she would have to do another year at level 4. I think she is upset and not thinking about the real consequences. She has said she would feel differently if "the paper said something different."
She has said she wants to try soccer because her friend told her she would be good at it. She has also said she is confused but then insists she is done with gymnastics.
I did meet with one of her coaches who said she could do a trial at level 4 just for the summer. I do understand why she needs to repeat and how it would help her in the long term and have communicated this to DD- build her confidence and not be rushed to learn new skills. She says it would be boring.
Originally we were told xcel was not an option but now it is. We do have a meeting with the xcel coach next week and then she needs to make a decision.
In the end if she insists she wants to quit - I will support her decision. I am just sad about it now. She is slower to learn new skills but is very strong and graceful.
Not really looking for advice. Just thought this would be a safe place to vent. Thanks.
