Proud Parent
I "browse" the other forums occasionally, and i get the impression that overall, boys' gymnastics is more laid-back than girls' gymnastics. I don't see a lot of "boy gymnast" parents worrying so much about whether their son will do elite, etc. I don't really hear of very many boys dropping out of school to homeschool to do gymnastics (not that I'm saying homeschooling is a bad thing). You don't hear about young boys skipping levels so much to rush to the top (but I realize also that boys can compete longer). Maybe it's that there are fewer boys than girls in gymnastics, so that's why the difference seems noticeable? Or maybe this difference is my perception?
