To the OP - I am sorry your daughter is dealing with this. With all due respect to those that tell you undoubtedly she will get the skill back or that it will for sure get better, I am sorry - but no, that is not always the case. There is a lot of great advice already posted to this thread--...

Chaco Sandals - I have the cloud version. Expensive but well worth the cost! They have amazing arch support in them. However, they are not flip flops, but still easy to get on and off.

Not every meet posts scores. Find your own way to track them and move on... Congrats to your daughter on a great meet!

You have gotten a lot of great advice in this thread. We commute 45 min to gym -- but -- I also live very rural, and I work, my husband works and the kids to go to school to the town we commute to for practice. My daughter is an 11 yo level 8 this year and I can tell you, this sport has so many...

My daughter struggles with flat footedness and I swear it has been the root of many of her gymnastics related pain issues.... we have done PT and she continues to do the exercises and I also bought her orthotic inserts from her orthopedist that she wears every day. She wears crocs or other...

Studying and homework in the car (and she has not had a ton yet as she is only going into 6th grade this fall but lots of spelling lists and reading!!) or she sometimes would try to do it at the gym (she had a short break between school and practice) but that was full of distractions. Dinners...

@cadybearsmommy so sorry that your DD is having to deal with this!! I am keeping my fingers crossed that you get good news from the specialists...sending positive vibes and virtual hugs to you! Given my DD has struggled with hip issues intermittently, I am just wondering what your DD's...

My daughter is a spit fire too... so I know what you mean. She has been that outgoing, spunky, sassy little thing since birth. But remarkably, she is extremely coachable. I remember when she was 6 years old and was being a little turkey, and I said "M, how is it that you can be so good at school...

Right now DD practices M - F for usually 3.5 hours per day. She is also playing on a competitive/traveling soccer team - and does that 3 nights per week. I can tell you - she is holding up fine. Me? Not so much :confused: But I, like others, want to make sure she can do other things outside of...

I agree with this completely @Flyaway. Just my personal opinion here, but I will admit that I do sometimes I view 'bragginess' here on CB when the only contribution to the site from some parents is their kiddos accomplishments, and yet maybe they don't contribute to the forums/boards otherwise...

I agree... not as much on CB site, but now Instagram??? Ugghhh.... I just. can't. even. That site is filled with over the top parents posting everything... but that is a whole different thread and I think we've covered it before o_O

Evidence is not the same as conviction. I would imagine the process is much like the one that exists on college campuses for, say, victims reporting a sexual assault by another student. A conviction does not need to occur for someone to be expelled for that type of conduct, but a certain amount...

The sex offender lists that are viewable publicly are not exhaustive by any means and are very limited. The laws vary in each state. For instance, in MN, a public registry only exists for offenders deemed a Risk Level III and for those not in compliance of registration requirements. A person...

Everyone's journey is a bit different and you will get a lot of varying opinions. How does your daughter feel about the move to Level 2 - is she excited? What are her hopes at this point for her gymnastics? What prompted the switch between programs? I would let those questions guide you in...

Our State Meet had a ban on professional photographers as did our Regional meet. I normally always bought pics at State because they were worth the price to me just once a year. I was SUPER disappointed to not be able to have them done this year. We were told it was due to Safe Sport and the...

Thanks! Yes we invested in Orthotics after her most recent physical therapy round ;) She's been pretty good since, only needing one adjustment so far and her feet feeling MUCH better!

Gotcha @tucktwisttumble ;) That makes sense! It is REALLY hard to unlearn poor form though... that muscle memory thing is bugger. 2nd year level 3, I would hope they would have focused on fixing form to this point - given the BHS-BHS combo in level 4...

Well, she might not be a young level 3. :) But I do agree OP that you need to let the coaches coach... they should be bringing her back to basics and drills in order to improve her block, and shape, etc. My DD was so eager to learn that BHS that she developed some bad habits while at open gym...

DD has recently been diagnosed with Osgood's (really inflamed in one knee - her 'good' one) and we have been allowing her to take ibuprofen or naproxen to deal with the discomfort when it is really bad (and then she is icing and elevating as well). Long term not a good solution... but she has...
