Maybe think about it this way: Not everyone feels this way and perhaps there are rules you do not enfore that they find maddening? I don't think its fair to expect other parents to enforce the same rules as you (within reason)
I have come to my decision over time. Abby had a mat and used to do tumbling stuff at home before. After reading about overuse injuries, stress fractures, etc, though I changed my mind.
Some parents homeschool, some don't. Personally, I find it irresponsible. But guess what? What I think matters less than a hill of beans. Not my call and I would never tell them this, not my place. Works for them and their kids..
I do let my kids tumble, but I tell them it has to be skills that are well within their ability, that they're 100% confident on, and in an appropriate place. That said, my dd just became the poster child for why we don't do gymnastics everywhere when she did a cartwheel in her room, kicked the night stand, and broke her big toe the day before states.
..., finally, I have to agree with Mariposa.....my dd knows very clearly the rules and I disagree with those that say "I can't stop them." I've said in the past that I will let her do things because she wants to, but if I tell her to stop or tell her it's over, it's over.
Isn't that what you just did?
Gotta go irresponsibly homeschool my kids! That was definitely the main reason we chose homeschooling. For the irresponsibility factor.
