    Parents Return after 1 1/2 years off?

    That's great! My daughter decided to.come to gym after over a year and half out and she is very happy (it's been 6 months since she returned) My words of advice...make her take it slow. My kid pushed herself right out of the gate and her body was not ready after the hiatus. She threw skills she...

    Parents My DD wants to quit gym

    My daughter and I had almost the same conversation a year and a half ago (she was same age, same training level too) I ended up letting her quit. She talked to her coaches with me present and we moved on. She tried t&t and dance, went on to join the dance company and was happy with the time...

    Parents Returning after a year and half and back pain

    Just wanted to pop in with an update. Wevarent seeing a fracture (yay!) But she is still in pain so we will do PT, give it time and hopefully it's nothing more than tight or pulled muscle. Then we decide on wether or not she goes back to gymnastics. Thank you all for your support and comments!

    Woah! She's been in gym for 7 years and no one ever told us this! She does them all the time. But after your comment and searching through the forum...omg! Why do they have them as part of the compulsory routine? ;( I won't let her do any more but I'm worried now. Thanks for letting me know.

    Parents How to know when to let her quit

    I feel for you. We went through that too and she ultimately decided to stay, but now we are back here deciding again. I hope yours finds her happy spot again!

    Parents How to know when to let her quit

    Right? That's what gets me...she is 9 and saying some pretty mature things. She said it's like eating her fave food every day for years...she is just sick of it. That helped me see it from her perspective. I don't want her to feel like this is a job...she is a kid, she should be having fun! If I...

    Parents How to know when to let her quit

    Normally, I'm in that camp too. We are in a but of a strange situation because we joined this gym late due to our old gym shutting down suddenly. Because of that, I'm due to make our final meet and coaches fee payment today. I still intend on paying it and leave it to the owner to decide if we...

    Parents How to know when to let her quit

    This is long...I'm sorry...trying to process. My daughter has been doing gymnastics since she was 3, team since 5 (she is almost 10 now) She has said many times over the last couple years that she wanted to quit and we've had her stick through the season and she usually changed her mind. At...

    Parents Trying to find the right path...insight requested.

    Yes this was a new development today after I posted the original post. They are offering to let her train with the L5 kids for the summer to see if she can catch up to their standards. To be reevaluated at the end of the summer whether she competes aau or usag.She was scoring mid 34's and they...

    Parents Trying to find the right path...insight requested.

    She didn't do amazing...high 8's, low 9's on her strong events (beam and floor), low to mid 8's on her weak events (bars and vault) She was doing ok with the new skills, a little slow going there but they just started on them. A good season would def boost confidence...I think she needs it, it...

    Parents Trying to find the right path...insight requested.

    She was with the training 6/7 group (just finished 5) and we were being told she would be 6. The new gym now says that they can have her join the training 5 group for the summer with the understanding that at the end of summer, they would decide if she would go usag 5 or aau 5. No it makes...

    Parents Trying to find the right path...insight requested.

    This is super long....apologizing in advance. I'm just going to pour it all out the best I can... I feel like my daughter is at a crossroads as far as gymnastics is concerned right now. We left our gym...she was not happy and was wanting to quit gymnastics completely and as I had promised her...
