I hate to see the start-stop work on beam. If it's happening because she's trying before she's truly ready (because *she* wants to do it) it canlead to a bad habit and problems down the road.
I give a kid ten seconds once they're standing on the beam. If they can't do the skill in that span they're not ready. Very plain ad very simple.
So then what? Down to a lower beam or a floor line? Curious.
Cbone......
It's not a matter of who wants it because it should always be the child driving the car, not me. I present the notion to the kids that time is precious and to move a skill to the next level is a waste of time and mental energy if you're not confident enought to do it on little more than a deep breath and a quick mental image.
Fears are all about the child, when parents try to talk to their gymmie about the issues it just makes things so much worse as they can never get away from the fear.
What is the moment in a child's gymnastics career when fear has won? I am always concerned when my daughter has a block on a skill that it's all over, and it's time to find something new. Or is overcoming fear and a block just part of a day in the life of a gymnastics, and I should get over it? How much time do you give it?
