    WAG random gymnast age question

    My dd just turned 10 years old and is competing level 9! She did score out of level 6 at 7 yrs. and level 8 at 9yrs! To some children it comes natural and she is one of them. Although she struggled her first 2 meets, she has come on like gangbusters lately! The only thing I would say is...

    Parents Judges : do they and can they hate your child and give them bad scores?

    I believe so! We have a judge that also teaches at our gym! She sometimes judge our girls( which I think is a conflict), and she always have something negative to say about my daughter's practice. At the meets, she scores her low! I told my dd to ignore her, because she is only one judge and her...

    Parents Fear & injuries - let them quit or encourage to stay?

    I haven't experienced the fear factor at all with my dd. She has slammed her tailbone on beam, but after being out a week, went back and continued. She also fell off the high bar, twice in a week, which she never does. She's 9 and my advice to her every time was, you will have falls every now...

    Parents Poor Grades, Should I pull her our????

    I have a similar problem. My dd struggles with school work and just doesn't like it. She also skipped 2 levels in one year (6 and 8), so, very talented. My decision, and it's what is right for me, is that I will never pull her from gymnastics as a punishment. Some children have special talents...

    WAG Missing Workout before meet?

    At our gym, as long as you get your 3 practices in that week, we are set. It is my dd decision not to go to extra activities that week( she's only 9), so she can practice at home some more!

    She really does catch on quickly, and if she does score out, the plan is to have her first level 8 meet after the Christmas, New Year holidays. That way she'll have more time to prepare. She already practices level 8 skills and lots of conditioning, so I think she'll be alright. Thank you!;)

    Parents Overshooting

    Thank you and I have thought about all of this. First, she does cyber school. That works for her because she can't stay still long enough in a classroom:D! She is currently required to attend 3 times a week for 3 hours each day at level7, if she moves to level 8, she would go an extra day. Her...

    Yes, she will go more hours at level 8! She is very excited about level 8 and very proud of herself for being asked to try. Her coaches are great and truly believe she can do it! I trust their faith in her! Thank you for the information and I will check with PMing Bookworm.

    They do plan on her being an elite gymnast. I think she will do great as an elite, but I'm just worried a little about her mentality.
