I agree with most of the posts here. I very much agree with Shawn's post. I think they are 2 separate issues. I think that 25 hours a week is too much for a 6 year old. I think it is baloney that she has "plateaued at 12 hours a week." There are some very talented little gymmies here that don't go that much and I think they are just trying to get her into that program. Not saying she isn't talented, I am sure she is, but she can do just fine doing hours more reasonable for a 6 year old.
We have always homeschooled and luckily it works out nicely with gymnastics. It is a very big decision though. We love it and it works well for our family.
Good luck to you. Personally, I also think 18 hours is too much for a 6 year old, but it is a personal decision. Have you considered checking out other gyms (like Starmaker did with her super talented little gymmie)? There is no reason she can't progress with more normal hours and still do well.
