    What is the run time of the Kellogg's show?

    Corners weren't bad. we were even with the trampoline and there was one more section towards the corner past us, but we could see everything great.

    What is the run time of the Kellogg's show?

    Not sure there's any way to add it on to a regular ticket - we bought a VIP package ticket that came with the talk.

    What is the run time of the Kellogg's show?

    Anyone who has been to the pre show "chalk talk" who what time it starts? I called the venue today and they were clueless - we live far enough away that I'm going to have to pull kids out of school and need to figure out the timing, and all they can tell me is "call back and maybe we'll know."...

    What is the run time of the Kellogg's show?

    We are also going next Friday - tickets were ODD's July birthday gift and she has been counting down the days since then :)

    WAG Simone and adhd

    So many feels from this article. Thank you for sharing it. My amazing DD was diagnosed 3 years ago, and I have learned so much about the disease, about her, and about myself (yah, it's often inherited and I know just where she gets it from.) While it makes me angry the the hackers outed Simone...

    Parents age appropriate

    We are not in exactly your situation (girl and not pre-team yet), but My 4 1/2 year old goes to open gym (open to ages 4-12) and loves it. I would be more comfortable with that than letting her do structured training with kids that much older.

    Parents Equipment vendors?

    My daughter wanted a pull up bar and the wood of our door frames couldn't support it. We returned it and bought a power tower (freestanding pull up bar plus other exercise stations) for under $100 and a fold up mat that can fit under it or be used alone. It gets a little use by everyone in the...

    Gabby Douglas Hate - (Hopefully) An End

    Dice it up, sauté with pancetta and a few cherry tomatoes until the tomatoes pop, and finish with a touch of good balsamic vinegar... I used to think I hated Zucchini and now it's one of my favorite veggies (only when cooked like this!) Younger DD's reaction: "my vegetable tastes like bacon but...

    Parents Booster Club Question

    There's another way to do the penny game that might make it more appealing for the rec kids to contribute to - you recruit a number of coaches or maybe even office staff or owners and have jars out for each of them. Whoever has the most money (with pennies being negative cents) agrees to wear...

    Parents How often...privates?

    My rec kid has privates on a regular schedule, and NO I'm not a CGM! At her level there aren't many rec classes offered so she's not in the gym many hours, and she has trouble focusing when there are a million other classes going on at the same time. Her coach really understands her issues and...

    Parents How much to let them vent

    I would give her a time limit - I know my 10 year old still doesn't have a great sense of time, so I would actually make it a physical reference along the route home "once we get to xx street and we are halfway home, you have to tell me two good things that happened in practice and then let's...

    Parents How much to let them vent

    How old is your child? I would deal with this very differently with my younger child than with my 10 year old...

    How to earn point on the trials app?

    Maybe it's similar to the Chalk Talk that's part of the VIP packages for the Kellogg's tour - that claims to be "chalk talk hosted by Olympic Champion Nastia Liukin featuring Q&A with select members of the 2016 Olympic team"

    WAG With trials coming up feel so sorry for the ones who nearly made it, Bailie, Nora etc

    You could look at it as giving up their childhoods to chase a dream, or you could look at it as they were so fortunate to be allowed to pursue their passion through an unconventional childhood, and doubly fortunate that they have been able to reach the upper echelons in their field. I guess it...

    WAG How Much to Tell a Parent

    If you are comfortable letting go of that bit of your privacy, I would recommend that you share. My daughter has severe ADD - not a life-threathening condition by any means, but it is severe enough that it is a disability that impacts her ability to function at home, school and gym. It so...

    Parents The Flip Side by Shawn Johnson

    Parents The Flip Side by Shawn Johnson

    There is a series by April Adams (flipping out, tumbling dreams and balancing act are the titles) that my 9 year old enjoyed. I have no idea on the quality of them, DD would like word salad if it was gymnastic themed.
