wondering if anybody else has dealt with this kind of thing...
dd is suffering from fear of skills she previously had, specifically: BWO on beam (a skill she has competed since she was 8 - now she's 11. we're in ontario btw, not JO rules); also lost her sole circle and flyaway - those are more recent skills. I just don't know what to do...she can't move up without these, she rationalizes that she will simply switch to power tumbling and so doesn't need to worry about moving up. I don't really care about the actual skills or moving up, it's more about learning that in life you need to face your fears and the fact that I know she will feel so much better about herself if she can conquer this...
the bwo she was apprehensive when she got back from summer break and then bailed on the move one day resulting in a nasty "beam bite" - has not done it again without a spot, the others we have no idea what sparked the fear...
any input and ideas are welcome...
