Some of the younger girls at our gym have started training more with the higher level groups consisting of older girls. Unfortunately, my DD is not a fan of the mixed sessions. She says the older girls are bossy and she prefers training with the girls her age. I can understand this from her perspective. I actually took time to watch recently and she is right, some of the older girls are bossy like an older sister.

I also understand it from the coaches perspective. These few, younger girls are good. In the not so distant future they will be competing the same levels as the older girls. I don't see the gym carving out a special time slot for 3 girls just because they are younger. They need to be a team.

How would you talk to your young daughter about the situation?
