I always felt Laurie & Riley's knees looked dangerously overextended. ...

Is there any proven benefits to a trampoline e.g stronger legs, developing fast twitch muscle fibre or increased height in jumps?

Thank you for the reply, no these are real issues for me unfortunately. Yes quite a few bits have been tailored slightly to remain anonymous but the main bones of the story are there.

Level 10 mom, thank you so much. That's what I need to hear. I hope you are doing ok. It's so hard, we have some equipment here & the stretching bands & mats & I am guilty of getting her to work at home... I guess the jealousy is the hardest thing manage as it does turn into a mom comp as well...

Why would you think I'm a troll. My daughter is a young gymnast & I was looking for advice on best practice for me as I wasn't liking the road I was heading down... I took the advice & stopped attending the practices, deep down I knew myself that was for the best, I was just afraid she would...

I just feel she could have been given a mention too, she performed so we'll yesterday. Just odd to exclude her & focus on her team mate.

To be completely honest my daughter was the social media star up until about a month ago & I guess I am a bit put out that her 3rd place yesterday wasn't even mentioned... There was 23 kids in the comp. There was plenty of pics of both girls together, 2nd & 3rd is a great achievement for the...

To be honest I thought my daughter deserved a mention too, they are same level & age group. There was only 0.25 between 2nd (jess) & my daughter who finished 3rd, there was plenty of pics of the two of them but they chose to share just Jess... As hubby said they want to promote their future...

So anyways thought all was well & so forth, however the clubs social media has only featured the other little girls achievement & none of my dd's. Lots of pics of Jess & group pics with Jess & on her own. Also congratulating her on her 2nd place all around, no mention of my dd's 3rd...

I'll try my best, I've actually seen an improvement in her after my staying away from practices she was thrilled with her results today & delighted to have won a teddy bear, she always wanted one & this particular feis had teddy bears for the top 3 all around

Just wanted to post a quick update & say DD had her competition today, it was a tough one but she came 3rd in the all around & Jess came 2nd. She's delighted & the top 3 also got bears so she's thrilled! Jess was fantastic today but DD was also brilliant. I did my best to cheer on & tried not to...

Haha yes I think so! I didn't realise how inappropriate my actions were, CB posters thanks for the honesty. I'll have my new year's resolutions well in place for January.

Thank you for the post, I'm going to have to reread this whole thread & get more perspective, the advice has been brilliant & I really appreciate it. DD has seemed fine & happy in practice without me. Last night's went well & she was very happy to chat about it. She was delighted with the praise...

Yes I really do I don't want to miss this weekends meet as it's her last in her current age group & level, it has crossed my mind to stay away but I don't want to miss her competing especially as I have it requested off work.... she's competing against the other girl. I'd like to see her...

Momnipotent, thank you so much for posting this, it's exactly what I need to be reminded of... I'm feeling anxious about dd's meet this weekend, I find it so hard to back off & not interfere or sideline coach... I haven't gone to her last 3 training sessions & I must admit it's a bit liberating...
