Hello all,
my daughter and I could use a little advice. My daughter finished level 6. She had a great season scoring mostly 36-37 all season.Her best event is bars. Many first places, this season. Her season ended about a month ago and she and the other girls in her group are learning new skills. My dd has her giant, clear hip handstand, plus back hs/back hs on beam. She just got a full on floor, and is working yurchenko. The coach informed me that she will be switching groups soon. I am very worried about how the other girls will treat her. They are a tight knit group- all together since level 4( where ironically she struggled and was always in the bottom of the pack- she changed this year). She comes home sometimes and says. That the girls make her feel bad because they get mad that she gets to do new skills and they don't. But I tell her if they are still struggling with one BHS on the beam then it's not her fault. I think it will be easier once they make the switch, but I think it's great that the coaches push her in her group and not just keep them all the same. These girls are her best friends and their parents are my friends. Any advice on how to handle it? One of the parents has said to me, that it's not right that my dd gets to do this and that, that the others should get to do it too. I responded saying well, once they get x skill then they are allowed to do y... That's what my dd told me.By the way the groups would be training new level 6 old level 7 and the other would be training new level 7 and new level 8.
