You might look carefully into a 504. A 504 allows the parent to collaborate with the school to meet a child's needs that are not currently being met. Accommodations are set and monitored. Many schools will not necessarily want this because it requires a lot of documentation and staff time...
Don't hold me to this , but it is my best guess as I suddenly feel quite old doing this.
Age 2-Mom and Me, once a week
Age 3-little Hot Shots, twice a week, 3 hours total
Age 6- competed old L3- three times weekly- 6 hours
Age 7- competed old L4- three times weekly - 8 hours
Age 8- older Hot...
My DD did not wear grips until second year of L8. She has very small hands and was tiny for her age. She also changed gyms and coaches, so she just kept going without them. She did learn to use tape grips, though, and could make them quickly. A few scary falls and coaches were telling her to...
I'm sorry you are going through this injury. I also hope she continues to have no pain with it.
A little off topic maybe, but what is a tuck over a barrel? I've never heard of that?
I know you asked questions of coaches, but you also made some comments that resonate with parents. Out of DD's original 8 girl team of 6 yo girls, 2 are left. For many, it just is not the best choice or one of the best choices for them.
At 5, she is able to express joy for the activities she...
I had the same thought. How many in each age division? It should not matter, though, because this is an odd way to determine a team. Maybe HC wants the girls to be motivated to do well at state, but it is an strange approach at best and rather destructive at worst.
What if a child is injured...
We tried it and DD broke out in hives. We did start some of the vitamin ingredients daily, and it has helped her through Severs and Osgood. I'm not really into the extra vitamins as a cure, but it has really helped.
We have had to move our DD due to a similar situation. Just get her out of there and find a coach who will treat her the way she deserves to be treated.
And one thing to add, Dunno:
Give me tons of $ to be this way to your kid!
First of all, welcome to CB. It is so hard to navigate the waters through the sea of coaches, gyms, skills, levels, and requirements. The folks on CB are an excellent resource with years of experience and tons of wisdom!
Your coaches have certainly proven what they can help your DD do if she...
Welcome to chalk bucket, clubdancemom. My daughter was in dance through level 5 then had to make her choice. She chose gymnastics. I discovered this site when she was choosing, hence, the name. I miss the dancing as well, but I feel fortunate that my younger DD does cultural dance, which is...
Our district allows a period off as an opt out. The principal has to sign a paper that explains what she will be doing to make up for the missed p.e. This is only for 7th and 8 th grades. No opt out for high school.
Well, you should definitely look into it if she is expressing discomfort with her wrists. Is it normal for them to do so many ROBHS on floor at a time? The main thing is that your dd is not in pain.
My dd said her wrists hurt before we got her Tiger Paws. She broke her finger on beam doing...
I have a figure skater and a gymnast. They have both dabbled at each sport. My gymnast gets too cold, and my skater too hot, so mostly they stick to their own sports. I'm happy when my gymnast will try new things. Most of our accidents seem to happen outside of gym, skating rink or horseback...
Our experience is very similar to gracyomalley's. It is in the name, gymdancer. When I first joined cb, dd was deciding whether to do ballet or gymnastics. She had done both since quite young. She chose gymnastics, but if she has a break, she is looking for dance camps to attend.
They have...
