Would she like cheerleading? They do flips like gymnasts do.

Well...they do flips. Not sure I'd say that they are like gymnast flips.

Ha I asked her that but you know gymnasts think they would never wanna cheer. And honestly I think it's more dangerous because she would most definitely be a flyer!

Patience is the key with your daughter. My girls started with fears as tweens or maybe it was just the fact that is about when they started scary skills. We tried Doc Ali online that did not go over well. She heard other girls talking about their fears and accidents, which made her freak out. We did try Doc Ali's recorded messages. Those seemed to work good on the ride to the gym. It really just took the coaches patience's, breaking down the skill, being told she could not compete an event and time (months). She now is stronger and has learned to deal with the fears.
