They all started at the same time in June. They have like different levels for pre-team and this one is for the younger kids, like 4-6 yr olds. In the very beginning there was one girl who had done the class last year but she moved up like a week after the class began. Like I said, I don't want...
My daughter is in pre team as i've posted before. Well recently they've been adding brand new girls to the mix. They started off with like 16 kids and were down to like 7-8 kids this past month. Well now like 4 brand new girls who really don't seem to be near the level the other girls are at...
Thanks everyone. I feel better now about letting her stay home. I think she honestly was just really tired. She has had a cold off and on for what has seemed like forever and an hour after she got home from school she wanted to put her pajamas on! I think she really was tired! She doesn't get...
I feel the same way which is why I was asking others opinions. I feel like I don't want to encourage her to skip whenever she wants but I also feel like at this age I should give her a break if she needs it as she is only 5. She is in an advanced class for her age and it's pretty much what they...
Once in a while my daughter doesn't want to go to class. No real reason for it she just wants to spend the day at home after school. Normally she loves the gym and loves dance class and is disappointed when she doesn't have class. Does anyone else ever experience this with your child and how do...
The gym I go to is right next to the dance studio, they kind of work together in a sense. I think if they had a problem with my daughter dancing there they would definitely let me know. I can see where the moms may be upset their daughter may feel bad because my daughter is so young but can do...
Honestly I think I can handle the moms, if I have to I will speak up or speak to the dance teacher about it. I dislike confrontation but if it absolutely needs to happen I'll do it. I'm more worried about my daughter and how she might be treated. I'm already worried about her being in that class...
I know, it always seems like everyone is offended when a child who does really well enters the class. A new girl came into my daughters gymnastics class a few days ago and does very well. My daughter has always done very well in class, I wouldn't say she is the best, I think they all have their...
Yeah now that you say that I was a little concerned watching class last night. There were some things she did that her coaches have not had her do yet in gymnastics and I'm thinking it's probably for a good reason. Like for instance she doesn't yet do a back bend standing up, just from the floor...
SO, this isn't about gymnastics it's actually an acro class my daughter takes. She takes ballet there as it is a recommendation by her coach. She recently asked me to start taking acro and after she begged me for a while I finally gave in and signed her up. I was thinking she'd be with kids her...
I also wanted to point out what I've noticed from hanging around the gym. I see older kids pick up skills very quickly where as the younger kids it can take a lot longer. So if she starts at an older age she will probably catch up the the kids who started younger very quickly.
My advice is, she is 3, let her have fun! She has PLENTY of time for strength training and serious gymnastics! When they are that young they should just be having fun and learning basic things. I'm not a coach but I'm a mom and I think if they start being that serious that young they may get...
Lol, yeah that is how my daughter is. She doesn't quite understand the Olympics yet. She was like, why can't we go see it? When am I going to be in the Olympics? She seemed to think EVERY gymnast goes to the Olympics. She'll get it when she is older, it's kind of hard for young kids to...
I think some people probably do sign their kids up after the excitement of the Olympics. And I think a lot of times parents really just want their child to be the absolute best, which isn't all that crazy, I mean we all love our children and want to see them succeed but they can succeed without...
I hear ya! I was feeling that way at the beginning of this week also, I was just thinking on Monday, oh crap another week of this! My daughter does gym 3 times a week and has ballet after class on one day and acro after class on another, so it's exhausting. My daughter also isn't on the team as...
Wow, lots of comments since I was last here. I just wanted to point out bella's mom that I never said the child should not be in class I only said I did not understand WHY she was in THAT class. I'm sure the coaches have a reason otherwise she wouldn't be there. You are just the kind of person...
Just wanted to make a correction. The child I was talking about IS NOT the coach's daughter. I had said the other young child in class was the coaches daughter but the child my daughter has problems with her mother just works there off and on but she does not coach. I think people got confused...
