Dd is 6 and training level 3. When moves up to level 3 shortly, she will have new coaches. At her gym, coaches typically coach only 1-2 levels so kids get new coaches as they move up.
Dd has worked with one of the level 3 coaches a few times when she's subbed for one of her coaches. She also has seen this coach working with the level 3s when dd is practicing with her group regularly.
She said, in her 6 year old way, that this coach is mean because she yells a lot and she is unfair because she yells at her whole group when only a few kids are doing something wrong, like taking too much. Dd says that she should only yell at the kids who are doing the wrong thing, not all the kids.
Dd is a people pleaser, works hard, and is a rule follower. She also does not like yelling and tends to withdraw when she is being yelled at, especially when she thinks it is unfair. She said today that she's not sure she wants to move up to level 3 because she doesn't want to work with this coach and is thinking about quitting.
I know dd and I know that she won't do well with that kind of a coach, where as my ds (non-gymmie ) is very able to tune it out and not letting it affect him personally.
Should I let her quit over this? Would you consider a gym change for this?
