Avasmom
Proud Parent
I am the same way as my daughter so our personalities clash a great deal. We both want things a certain way. I take medicine for my anxiety though with not being perfect. In her mind it is not ok for her to make a mistake. It isn't just with gymnastics. It is with school as well. My husband is often our mediator. Her brother made a 98 on his math test and she made a 92 and she cried. It's just her personality. You can't change a child's personality. You can only encourage them and love them.
Her coaches are aware she has a bar and beam. The other girls in her class have equipment at home as well. It has never been discouraged. I didn't know it was a "no no" until I joined this board. Ava practices on it daily. That is how she got her bar skills so quickly.
