This is my first post and probably going to be quite lengthy. My daughter started gymnastics late at the age of 10. She has been in it for 3years now and has hit a wall with it. Maybe it's just age and puberty, I don't know. Everyone or most says it's a stage and phase they go through. Most say they referred ever quitting...I don't want that to happen for her. I've seen her accomplish so much to this point and finally get to optionals and it all seemed to become a struggle. She is so talented and an amazing tumbler. Practice was just not something that she has been wanting to do lately or even competing lately at meets. She has been so torn on knowing whether she still loves it or not. It came down to having to step back and take a break to re-evaluate where she lies with it and what she wants. It breaks my heart to see her come so far to stop now. Gym has always been a struggle for us with not having anywhere close to go, such long days of school and gym, and late nights I believe has caught up with her. We decided to homeschool this year to help out with it all. Now the break is happening. How many of yours have been through it already and did they bounce back to it? I don't want to get my hopes up but on the other end I believe she might be done.
