Hello! This is my first post here! DD and DS were involved with gymnastics in TN before we were relocated to Canada. The gym we were at was excellent and my two were really on a great track.
We moved to a small town in Ontario. They have a gym here, it is competitive but not near as nice. It lacks the "professional" feel of our other gym. The rec program makes me crazy. The majority of the children do not wear leos, the kids are running everywhere, and it is pretty chaotic. Not my first choice of gyms but the next one is over an hour away.
DD got moved up from the basic rec program to an advanced kinder program for ages 3-5 (she's 4). Her first class was a few nights ago and it is a world of difference! Before, she would just run through obstacles trying to be the first one done. At the new class, they were actually working on skills like bridges, walkovers, pull overs on the bar, and splits. DD was the only new child to the class. SO the other 5 girls were fairly efficient but my child didn't know any of the skills! She was also running around like a monster, just like they allowed her to behave in her last class. I'm just hoping she settles down and starts to focus. Is the first move up always this big of a gap? I'm going to try my best to help her at home with out wearing her out. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
