I trust my kids. It's the other kids I don't trust. ;) We do periodic spot checks to ensure their downloads are age appropriate and that their social media is harassment free.
There is a gym with the air trak locally. I must say it's pretty awesome (ya I've played) and it's fantastic for the parkour kids to have a reasonably soft(ish) landing for their off access twisting. No worse than those who've got bar sets/ beams in their basements, trampolines in their yards...
In Ontario, many clubs are opting to jump their athletes from 4 to 6 since (at the moment) we don't have a score out requirement. That said....your coach will make the decision as to what level you compete at so I wouldn't stress about it. It is unlikely that they would move you from level 3...
My oldest retired from gym and moved in to Crossfit a year ago. Never a complaint about going and despite the drop in training hours, he maintains the same physique. He loves his coaching staff and, the work outs that I look at and say OMG!!! to, he laughs and says "Looks like fun!" Only...
Even if the account is private, their profile pic and user name is still searchable on Google. I've sent a message requesting IG create an *Opt out of Search engines* but until enough people make the same request I'm sure it's not a priority.
Back when my son was little and his "currency" was cash, I told him I'd give him $10 to first time he went to the top of the rope. That night he climbed to the top and waved at me. I turned to the coach and said, "You see him there?" That was the end of Excuses for not making it because the...

Thanks everyone for the replies. I'm sorry there are so many going through the same thing but must admit I'm also relieved that she's not alone. Thanks for all the great options. Seems we are working on many of them already but there are definitely a few suggestions that I will look in to...
She was borrowing an x brace...it was too small so I made her stop using it. Didn't want her stretching out someone else's brace. We've been taping it with KT tape for now. She's not sure if it's helping. There is a new xbrace coming out in a few weeks so I'm hoping to hold off buying a new...
Anyone had luck treating this while their athlete was still training? DD Floor is suffering because she can barely get through her tumbling passes. Currently she's only running her tumbling lines two or three times per practice because if she does more, it hurts to walk.
We struggle with the bends too. DD wishes she were naturally flexible instead of strong and she too gets frustrated with verbal reminders. I'm sure the attitude is not to be disrespectful but is done out of frustration and embarrassment. You said yourself "Every coach has corrected her on...
