Hey all!
I posted last week about possibly switching Dd to a different gym because she is outgrowing her other one. She is 8-years old, training Level 6 and at a gym that currently has no optionals. Her coach does a lot of uptraining, but I would like to move her to another gym that has a large optional team up to Level 10. It is the same distance from our home so the commute time wouldn't change. I know it needs to happen and will probably switch her in the summer when competition season is over (Dd is currently not competing but the other gym is). The trick is convincing Dd that it needs to happen. I briefly mentioned it to my Dd today and she said she will never switch because all her memories and friends are at the other gym How do you deal with the emotions of a young child switching gyms and how long does it take to adjust? TIA!
