My daughter is 7yo and trainning level 4 (to compete fall 2017). She has struggled doing ROBHS independently and required a spot every time she tumbled. In June her group went to the tumble track and she was confident enough to complete the skill independently 10+ times. On her last turn before rotation she was a little high going into the BHS and she broke her arm. Both her ulnar and radius. She is recovering well and the cast will come off on her 8th birthday in August.
Now she says she wants to stick with gym and can't wait to be cleared for full practices. But I am so worried! Can anyone share forms of encouragement for me and my daughter? The skill she was so frightened of for more than a year and she breaks her arm doing it! I think when the time comes for her to tumble again she'll be more frightened of re injuring her arm. Any books or personal stories that will help are greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
