Hello,
We are parents of ten children (3 biological, 7 adopted). Our oldest daughter competed in gymnastics until she was injured at age 16. She now coaches at a wonderful gym. Our youngest daughter (we have only two) age 6 made team this last June...three months after joining the gym! She's a perfectionist so this is a great sport for her. We LOVE our gym and are proud to be a part of it! We are especially looking forward to the meet that is being held in Walt Disney World in January, as this will give my youngest and I some special bondind time that is difficult at times in such a large family.
My biggest pet peave is parents that take this sport to seriously and are so hard on their young children. Perhaps it is because I have watched our oldest proceed through this sport I can look at things in a different perspective. But I believe parents coaching from the sidelines (which is immediately corrected by coaches at our gym) is silly. Children will enjoy this sport so much more if they just learn to believe that having fun and learning teamwork is the MOST important skill they will develop out of this. Sideline parents DRIVE ME NUTS  !
