I am curious about cartwheels. My kiddo has been able to do a cartwheel in a straight line for a year and beam since she was 3. But now she is starting to learn the cartwheel in a step kick lunge way and it’s somewhat confusing to me (and her). Did the baby fast one not count and why wasn’t she...

That’s great! I will check it out!

That is also great advice I hadn’t thought about. It’s interesting because I believe it’s a sensory thing along with impulse control. So she gets excited and then flips around. Especially when she is waiting or in a pair and waiting her turn. It’s like she just can’t contain herself from...

I meant to add that I thought I could compensate by working with her at home (she listens to me but not coaches) and it’s quiet. But I’m finding my abilities aren’t there and I’m not sure if random YouTube videos help or hurt.

Thank you so much for that advice!!! There are a few gyms around and I had her in a different one over summer due to scheduling. I pulled her after 4 classes when she showed me they were doing kick overs (she demonstrated at home to my shock). I probably over reacted but this child is absolutely...

That is great advise and makes me feel better that I’m in the right course. She swims 3 times a week, but not in a class. She can’t start the Red Cross lessons until she turns 6, so she swims 7-10 lengths, works on a few skills and then plays the rest of the time. I suppose I’m the teacher for...

Thank you for posting this- I’m sorry about your arm and thankful you shared your experience as it’s what my gut is telling me.

My 5 year old is obsessed with gymnastics. She took 2 classes/week for an entire year as a 4 year old. She just turned 5 and is enrolled in 3 45-min classes/week. Our problem is the skills exceed the maturity/listening/behavior skills. I have no idea what I’m doing as a gymnastics parent...

My 5 yr old also takes 3 classes a week, but at the same gym. We are in the between phase where her skills exceed her maturity. I think her behavior may have gotten worse because of the repetition gets a little redundant. I think the multiple gyms may actually help keep things fresh.
