I tend to be a very laid back parent when it comes to gymnastics. I love that my DD is involved and I really work to not add stress or pressure on her. She is only 7!
I have been wondering about this for quite a while. At DD's old gym, parents always questioned certain aspects of their DD's gymnastics. When I met with her old coaches, I really didn't feel like I was 'heard'. Perhaps it was the conservative way I presented the situation. I am not sure.
At DD's new gym, parents do also talk to the coaches. The two HC's have told me that if I ever have questions/concerns about DD and her gymnastics to not hesitate to ask, email, or meet with them.
" What questions do coaches find adequate? "
I don't think I would ever ask, "Is DD moving up?" I guess it's because her coaches should tell me the obvious in that respect.
I being a teacher am always receptive to anything my parents want to ask. Of course, I never talk about another child with them. But if it relates to their own child, I have always been open to discourse.
I find myself at a loss when it comes to talking to coaches however. I just don't want to step on anyone's toes. Any help from coaches and parents who have healthy relationships with their DD's coaches would be appreciated!
