    Off Topic OT for parents:Cell phone monitoring

    I trust my kids. It's the other kids I don't trust. ;) We do periodic spot checks to ensure their downloads are age appropriate and that their social media is harassment free.

    Parents AirTrack Factory

    There is a gym with the air trak locally. I must say it's pretty awesome (ya I've played) and it's fantastic for the parkour kids to have a reasonably soft(ish) landing for their off access twisting. No worse than those who've got bar sets/ beams in their basements, trampolines in their yards...

    WAG Level 4 or struggle through level 6??

    In Ontario, many clubs are opting to jump their athletes from 4 to 6 since (at the moment) we don't have a score out requirement. That said....your coach will make the decision as to what level you compete at so I wouldn't stress about it. It is unlikely that they would move you from level 3...

    Parents Opinions on offering incentives?

    Back when my son was little and his "currency" was cash, I told him I'd give him $10 to first time he went to the top of the rope. That night he climbed to the top and waved at me. I turned to the coach and said, "You see him there?" That was the end of Excuses for not making it because the...

    Parents Gymnastics Camp: Labels- recommendations needed

    Did this for Camp last summer. BRILLIANT! Everything came home! Hindsight, I'd add an extra set of un bagged warm clothes for evening wear.

    We use the tagmates from Mabels labels. Small, discrete but secure.

    WAG Recommend a stretching program?

    http://www.gymnasticbodies.com/gb-courses/stretch-series/ has a new stretching program. It's pricey but less than paying for physio or privates. edited for spelling

    Parents How often does your gym switch leos?

    We have a mom who cuts the sleeves off the comp ones and uses them as training leos when ours switch.

    Parents Severs/ Growth Plate/ Heel Pain

    Thanks everyone for the replies. I'm sorry there are so many going through the same thing but must admit I'm also relieved that she's not alone. Thanks for all the great options. Seems we are working on many of them already but there are definitely a few suggestions that I will look in to...
