    Parents Pullover advice

    My DD loves watching her videos and I always thought it was strange that she was never around other kids. I guess it makes sense if she is doing privates lol.

    Her current gym has the highest mommy and me age limit and it goes up to 3.5 years then independent gym begins. Every other gym in the area starts the kids independent at 3.

    Parents Pullover advice

    At least the few parents I talked to weren't happy there and were also considering leaving. The danger wasn't the only issue though. The class was huge and totally out of control. When we started it was 6 kids and 2 coaches, when we left it was 14 kids and 2 coaches. The circuits were too big...

    Parents Pullover advice

    I wish I had spent more time researching gymnastics before we sent her there. I thought a facility that had locations all across the country would be a good, safe option and they have awesome reviews all over the internet but all she learned there was a lot of really bad gym etiquette. The first...

    Lol to an extent she's had them because the other girls in her Friday class take a lot of long weekends [emoji23] Memorial day weekend she'll probably end up one on one again.

    I don't know, I wasn't sure I wanted her to go competitive when we first switched there, it was just for fun and recreation, so I never really asked. But she's made a ton of progress in every other event besides bars, is in love with the team girls, and talks all the time about wanting to be...

    Oh no I totally agree, she has so much fun and never wants to leave, it's just this one thing. I honestly don't understand why they are so focused on this one bar skill and aren't willing to give her time and let her do something else. I hate the way they are pressuring her and I've explained...

    Parents Pullover advice

    DD (3) has been at her new gym for about 4 months and there is a lot of pressure on her to get a pullover. A little backstory- at her old gym they were really reckless with the kids, having them do stuff they weren't ready for, not supervising the kids on the equipment, and while the teachers...

    Parents Keeping up with the Joneses?

    We got a good deal on some mats (panel, Folding incline, and folding soft beam) on a BST as a safe place for my son to climb, jump, and be his klutzy self on that wasn't my glass coffee table. DD starting teaching herself rolls and handstands and such so we decided to put her in gymnastics which...

    Parents Gym hair with short thin hair

    My DD is the same way- fine hair that just doesn't stay. It goes up in a similar style to what you pictured for every class or it is just a mess by the time stretches are done. If you have the patience, spray wax and a french braid can keep the pieces up pretty well and it looks nice. I do agree...
