My older dd is 6 and is in a developmental class (to feed into team). She is in the last one before they move to L4. They do the L4 routines and actually compete them in-house against each other. Her coach believes she has a lot of talent, but is nervous about her focus. DD doesn't really try hard unless it is something exciting (right now that would be fly aways on bars and round off back tucks) but the stuff she needs to compete L4 she does not put her focus into. Sha has been working on those things for a while. (maybe boredom?)
I am very scared that they move her friends and hold her back due to lack of focus, or sha hurt herself due to lack of focus. I have tried to reward her for focusing, but the minute the reward goes away, she quits trying. She loves gym and DOES NOT want to quit, any advice would be helpful.
Oh, her coach does really good with her and says she is still young, and she should get it. Just a mommies fear of feelings getting hurt if she gets left behind.
