DD is struggling this year. She is 9 and L4 and that darn kip is hit or miss. She had it. Got grips. Lost it. Got it back. Had a growth spurt and its a hiding again. Cartwheel is either beautiful or a mess. Vault was her best event at L3 and now it's not.
All of this has lead to a lot more tears and frustration this year. Crying again last night.
This morning she was still upset, which is unusual for her. So we talked and I told she has one more practice before this weekends meet and asked if she had told her coach how she was feeling. She said no so I told her to write down three things she really wanted to work/was frustrated about.
Then I FB her coach to let her know that DD might talk to her. It would be so much easier to be a CGM and just do it myself and freak out. Much harder to see you kid cry and help them take responsibility for it and learn to communicate. Dang life lessons.
