I recall when my dd was 5 and another girl was 6, her mother was saying she would never let her daughter quit gymnastics because this was going to pay for her college. My thought, first of all, if you quit and put all the money away, you can pay for college. Second, you can always go for an...

My dd also received a personal hygeine bag, with deoderant and maxi pads. Only problem, she was 7.

I just wanted to say this post made me smile. It is nice to see friendly competition, as opposed to some of the cut throat competitors. Unfortunately, the bad kind are usually the parents. I am often amazed at parents attitudes toward other gymnasts. I too often find myself thinking, you know...

I dont think I have ever gotten a leo and warmup for under $450. Wow, I am a little jealous! :)

I am in love with that womans positivity!

The biggest problem with this is the idea that the coach completely disregarded what you had to say. If I tell the coach that this is whats happening with my dd's health, I would expect them to respect that. If they disregard you and your opinion in this instance, I would let them know now that...

I was once in a bad position with coaching. As a parent, when I truly believed that the coach crossed the line, I didn't go back. If they really thought abuse was taking place, why are they still bringing their children in? That one statement about not watching anymore because they don't want to...

Just saw this thread for the first time. I am glad all is looking up and will send prayers for a speedy recovery.

One more thing I wanted to add... Glasses are great because they can just change the lens when needed. As someone else pointed out, kids sight changes rapidly. Basically every time you see a growth spurt, you should be prepared for a new prescription. This is also important down the line if you...

If she does really not like it, after she tries it, keep an open mind for contacts later. They make them for astigmatism. They also give better peripheral vision than glasses do. If you do decide to try them in the future the most important thing I can tell you is to make sure the eye dr. gives...

Thats the mind set of a gymnast, the bigger skill is always a treat. Thats how you know they love what they do :)

This just reminded me of when dd was little. She didn't have a lucky leo, but she would tell me she had to wear certain leo's each day because they gave her power. It was so cute.

I will just reiterate what others have said, Tammy Biggs is great! While your daughter wont spend the whole time with your daughters group, there will be other great coaches there. My daughter has done rising stars for 3 years. I find that it is a fun experience for the girls. They have even had...

That is great! Can I ask what her symptoms were, just out of curiosity?

That is Great news! As for advice, the only advice I will give you is to listen to your body, dont overdo it too soon.

Children can be frustrating. When you are frustrated, do you speak to her that way? There is your answer.

My daughter struggled at level 5. I was really worried about level 6. Turns out she had the best compulsary year. I think it can go either way. My daughters team, that year, had some girls have less than their average season, and some better. Its gymnastics! Who can predict it? Good Luck!

Her eating is fine, and eating larger amounts does usually coincide with a growth spurt. The not drinking is dangerous. I have a healthy friend who had a seizure, due to dehydration. A teammate of my daughters ended up in the ER with vertigo and headaches, also diagnosed dehydration. You dont...

I would imagine that all gyms that currently compete level 4, will compete level 3 as well when the change occurs. It is the same level, with a different name.

My daughter had this same problem. Her wrists are actually scarred. She never had this problem until recently. I even bought a second pair of different brand grips. I am also wondering how people have handled this.
