Parents Some wise words to us parents

[NotAMom]

I'd like to share this insightful article with all you fellow gym parents, particularly those who are new to this sport. It was not written for the gymnastics community but rather that of another sport. But, nearly all that is said rings true. We as gym parents can definitely use his advise in our everyday lives, through every practice and every meet. Steer away from these "don't"'s and you'll more likely to have a happy and satisfied gymnast for a long time to come.

Great article! "Gymnastics" can definitely be substituted for "ski racing" in every instance and it fits perfectly.

Great article. I have been putting together some thoughts, after reading a lot of posts on the CB, thoughts about the type of gym mom I want to be. So this was great.
