Hi!
It has been my 7 y.o.'s gym homework to practice the order of her routines for quite some time now. She has been resistant to do so with me, but it's crunch time now and meets are here!
I'm trying not to put pressure on her, leave gym at gym, but at the same time, she needs to know the basic order of her routines (which she doesn't know 100%). She remembers not knowing her routines 100% at the beginning of last year and doesn't want to do that again.
I did mention that her teammates are 'marking' through the order of their routines with their Mommies, and she seemed surprised.
I'm not talking about tons of time here--I'm telling her things like 'lets run through the order of your floor routine 1 time before we leave and go play at a friends.'
Am I pushing too much? Is this abnormal for her not to want to learn her routines? A sign she doesn't love gymnastics as much as she used to? When I was a kid (dance) you couldn't get me to STOP practicing my routines.
For context--she is not at a competitive gym, it's her second year competing, and she will be in the local league.
