I'm sure this is more common than I know, but was wondering has your DD/DS ever been so attached to a coach she comes home crying because they miss that coach?
My DD's lvl 4 coach left for another local gym and she was devistated. The coach was kind enough to meet with my DD a couple of months after she left just to say hi and catch up. Now my DD is moving up from lvl 5 to lvl 7 so she has a whole new group of coaches. Again, she is coming home in tears, and talking about how much she misses her lvl 5 coach. Apparently one of her new coaches is a disciplinarian and doesn't get along with him just yet. She does like her other coach but not at the same level as her lvl 5 or lvl 4 coaches.
It's hard to see her so sad. Nothing we say seems to comfort her. I'm sure over time she will move along, but she was very playfull with the others and they really seemed to enjoy her "spunk". The optional coaches are definitly much more serious during practice. Not that the lvl 4/5 coaches were lazy, they just seem to understand better that these are young girls 7/8/9 years of age.
Anyone else have this issue? I'm guessing time is the only cure.
