ODD (7) began gymnastics at 5.5 -after months of begging to start. I signed her up not really expecting her to like it or be any good at it and she took off immediately and LOVED it immediately. She had previously tried a few other activities which she did not like for long. A year and a half later she would be at gym every day if she could.
YDD is 5 and has been taking gymnastics for about 1.5 years (but most of this time in a preschool class that they actually didn't do much gymnastics in). She is also in ballet and skating and likes all 3 activities. I have been holding off on putting her in the developmental track of gymnastics b/c I want her to be able to try a few activities that she is interested in and hopefully spark a passion for one of these or something else. However I know that gymnastics is something that it is helpful to start young in. I can't have her in developmental gymnastics and the other activities. I don't think she has much of an opinion about any of this yet -she would probably willingly drop any 1 or 2 of her activities and replace them with a second day per week of another. Should I move her to devo track and drop the other activities (or one of them)? Or should I give it another year or more and see what she likes the best?
