WAG CGM confession- afraid of DD getting hurt out of gym

[kikigym]

My DD was just invited to an ice skating party and I'm terrified (for no good reason) that she'll hurt herself. I'm letting her go of course, because I know I can't and shouldn't put my DD in a bubble. But I really wish they were just watching a movie. I know I need to let my 8 year old live her life and be a kid, but she has her first meet of the season coming up and TOPs national testing as well. I'm not looking for advice as I know the right answer-- let the girl have her fun. Just maybe looking to commiserate with others who have these worries Or even better, for people to tell me not to worry!

Totally get it! My dd's first season of competition, she broke her pinky two weeks before states in PE. I have been paranoid ever since about participation in PE.
