Just a note, some preschool-aged kids may have a problem with this. The other kids in my daughter's class love it when the coach draws an alligator or shark with chalk for them to go over, but my daughter has freaked out screaming several times when he tried this. (She is younger than the...

This is all brand new to me, and I'm not sure just how dangerous it is, and whether it's worth an ongoing battle or not (my daughter is very strong willed). It's only been a couple of days, but she usually does it for about fifteen seconds or so at a time, if that makes a difference.

A related question--my two-and-a-half year old is bridging. What do I do about it? The coach showed her the position once before I read on here that it was bad for little ones, and then the next time she saw the bigger girls bridging she just did it. Do I tell the coach to stop her when she...

We've been regularly getting together with her new best friend and I've been trying to get some other moms to join us with their little ones. We go to the park almost every dry day, and we go to the preschool story time at the public library. I have a very social little girl, and have been...

So, what would you all suggest? I tried her in the class the other day with other older 2 to 3 year olds, and that's not going to work. While happy to be at the gym, she was obviously not having as much fun. But should I limit her just to the 45min class with the 3 to 5 year olds?

There are no other gyms. Some parents drive their kids 45mins each way because this is the closest. I'd originally hoped to just bring her to open gym time when I first looked into gymnastics, but they don't offer it because parts of the gym are still under construction. (Recently moved)...

Unfortunately, in this tiny town we have just moved to, there are no other options. I did hear that someone who used to teach dance was considering giving lessons out of their home starting next year.

Thank you both. So, do you just think this is a case of the coach seeing some potential and getting overexcited?

A month ago, upon moving to the northwest, I signed my daughter up for a kiddie gymnastics class to meet some new friends in this little retirement town and have a physical outlet during the rainy winter when we can't go to the park. She's two and a half. If it weren't for the recent move, I...
