My daughter busted her chin open on a track at school and had to have stitches. I asked her teacher to please give her the rule that "feet must stay on the ground" for a week to let it heal. It was so hard for her to be out of the gym for a week and to not even do gymnastics on the playground...
They had my daughter doing a handstand forward roll on the beam tonight and it is to help her get more vertical in her handstand. She just turned 7 and goes up in a handstand but not quite vertical. Practicing getting vertical and rolling out of it made her hit vertical better than she ever...
