My little girl has her first meet ever this Sun (level 3) and I am worried for her. Everything was going great up until last week when she had a fall of the beam. Now she won't do her handstand or handstand dismount on the beam. She doesn't want to do her split jump either. She actually started to cry at practice! It broke my heart. I told her that this is fun (she is only 6) and if it isn't fun she doesn't have to do it, but she was insistant on continuing and told me that she LOVES gymnastics. I don't know what is going to happen this weekend and am worried for her. I want her to be able to enjoy this and not be nervous, but not sure how to help her. Any suggestions? She also does not have her stride circle yet, and is upset that she doesn't have this for the meet. She is a sweet, but emotional child and tends to be hard on herself. My poor little bird! lol
