I have one particular student who is not ready for the next level, and her mother keeps bugging me to move her up. I have told the mother that the child does not have all of the skills necessary and that she needs to learn how to control her body better (both for safety reasons and for mental reasons). I have explained to the mother that if her daughter does not have the necessary skills to move up that she will have problems with the next level. The mother believes that just having the skills is necessary, so I have also explained that the skills need to be done correctly and not just done (for instance she can do a back hip circle on bars but it is piked and she ends up laying on the bay).
Does anyone have any advice on how else to deal with parents like this. Her daughter comes two days a week (two different coaches) and she has been nagging both coaches about moving her daughter up.
