I've downloaded another app this morning.
I think a reward. Chart might work esp as he's rubbish at earning his pocket money so he could earn it this way :-)
We've got monkey are anda trapeze in the garden but the weathers now been too great and if he has to put a coat on to play then we are...
Thanks for the advise..
He hasn't ever really been set targets by either gym..
We have started with the get 3 chin ups, get to 10 sit ups and that sort of thing..
Perhaps I can get some sort of reward/star chart up..
His sister has the strength and he has the flexibility... Combined they'd be...
Any tips on making the 'boring condition' (his words!) fun?
I have told him I'll do it with him (that should be hilarious!!) as a help.
I agree about not wanting him to burn but but he's always doing gym stuff at hime so figured better to try and make him choose conditioning ;-)
I guess with...
Hi,
My little boy (6 yr old (7 in February)) is based with two gyms..
1 small one with only vault and floor and he's in the process of moving to a big 6 piece gym..
Week one assessment we were told to continue our 4 hours at small gym but join them for further assessment once a week (2hrs)
Week...
I like to think all of my nerves are so my DS doesn't have to have any :-)
He's only 6 and is a little hapless on the vault as he looks down... I told his coach tore mind him head up... I was then promoted to move from my seat as he could see me soi did...
Then first vault.. Flat on face...
Funny that you said that.. My youngest is 2 1/2 and after talking to coaches at ds small gym they are dying to have her but I can't get to the toddler classes so have to wait until she's 3...
She is also built like a power house... She can forward roll,, walk her legs up a wall to an almost...
Can anyone enlighten me?
I'm almost certain I found the ages at which the boys can compete and at what level the other day but now I can't find it :-(
Just curious at this stage obviously but it's always good to actually know something :-D
I think it's brilliant reading what each other's children get up to :-D
My Ds is currently in a bridge position trying to kick his legs back over whilst watching some random cartoon !
My dd does one hour a week rec gym... She has (omg) 4 Leo's!
My ds who trains nor has stirrups and 3 Leo's but apparently his big gym tend to train in t shirts and stirrups but he's still going Leo's and stirrups or shorts as its smarter :-)
I have smartness issues it would appear,,.
I signed my ds up to a rec class when he was 4 1/2... He could almost perfectly box split so I figured he had to do som thing with his flexibility...he was chosen for development there and then and is always bouncing around the house so figured he's just meant to be a gymnast,
My odd is 8 now...
I got ds into gym when he was 4 1/2...
He's always been 'that kid' that has energy by the bucket load and is ever satisfied with a task and he's always bored and never tired... Only sleeps 9 hours a night (he's forced back to bed but never sleeps)
We were watching the Olympics and he was sat in...
I shouldn't laugh but that is funny :-) kids have answers for everything and sometimes they have a point ;-)
So that's to come then?
My ds thinking my dining table is a vault or something :-o
Who thinks every inch of space in the house and every piece of furniture is a piece of gym equipment :-o
From the moment he wakes to the moment he goes to bed he's either jumping, leaping, rolling, diving or anything else that goes around the house :-o :-)
Phew :-)
Had the chat with his coach at the small gym and she has said they will support my ds and help him as much as they can but if it turns out that we are saying no to too many little comps for them or start competing for he new club then we would have to leave..
We've said no tonight to a...
I can't post to the world and his wife on fb and such like yet as I need to speak to current coach but I am soooo proud of my little lad..
As some of you know he went to be assessed and a new big gym on Saturday... Well his first lesson there was today and very proudly the coach told me he's...
