To start DD is 7 and level 3
So I have had some concerns about the path DD is on so I have had several talks with people at the gym very recently to help make sure we are all on the same page.
Also the past week or two DD has been hesitant to go to gym. After talking with her she says she thinks Coach X is "mean" When I ask mean is she can't explain its more the "way" she says things maybe yelling or just giving corrections in a way DD thinks isn't nice. Now DD is a VERY sensitive soul. I don't think the coach is being really mean she just may not be warm and fuzzy all the time. But this is also the coach a lot of people have issues with right now. She's young can play favorites and isn't as hands on as people would like.
This brings me to my issue DD would like me to talk to the coach. This is not what I would like to do but with DD personality and age this is not something she can do for herself right now and if me saying I will talk to the coach will make her happy to go to gym again that's what I will do.
My concern is that this could turn the coach against her?!? Is it alright to let a coach know that DD is sensitive and has gotten her feelings hurt and can she keep that in mind when giving corrections as it would help her as she works on developing a thicker skin? Is there a good way to put this?!?!? I am now stressing about this
Having just had some chats with the gym I don't want to come across as crazy ugg.
