Talk with a coach because there is another child who is out of control during class?
Last night was the first night I watched my DD practice with her new group on Weds (different coaches on Monday and Weds) And there was a kid who was climbing all over the coach, licked the coach, would raspberry her face. The kids were using the vault and this kid demanded all the coaches attention and would take 3X's a long as all the other kids.. because this kid was playing around. I understand that these are kids. However this is supposed to be an advanced class. My kid is 4 and this kid looked to be 6 (so you would think some maturity would come along with this). I know my kid is no angel and can be a stinker, but this kid makes her look like an angel.
Because this behavior went on through the whole practice I spoke with the coach because i didn't want to go over her head (she looks like a teen) and I mentioned that the kids seemed distracted and if she could try to keep them under control. Then she had the audacity to call my DD out (likely cause she is the youngest) and said she was distracted by her friend) another Mom jumped in and called the other child out (I didn't want to do that). The Coaches excuse "Well that is just how she is, and I try to stop her, but she is just soo cute and makes these faces" (WHAT?!?!? Seriously?!?!) Well I asked her to try, because she is taking time away from the other children which isn't fair. I hope next week we see a change. But I hate that I had to even be "That Mom" But I felt it was necessary to bring it up then because I thought it might become a problem if I didn't.
