How has your child's gymnastics helped with school?
My youngest dd has been taken gymnastics for 4 Years (3 years starting from pre school to rec) and nearly 1 year competitive gymnastics. Since starting school dd has always been well behaved at school (at home she can be a little devil), she was a head with her reading from the start, just recently we had parents evening and dd was placed on the gifted and talented register for all 3 core subjects (2nd time on the register since starting full time school) Reading, Writing and Maths.
My oldest dd also does gymnastics and she is also well behaved at school (and mostly well behaved at school), she is also ahead with reading and writing and has been for a few years, maths is not her strong point. Gymnastics has given dd confidence as well, she has just signed up for a young leader program at gym where she can help out at meets, gym events and even learn a bit about coaching (you have to be 11 to do this and she will be 11 in December)
