We have a chin-up bar installed in a convenient spot in our house, and my little gymnast is obsessed with it. The only problem is, she constantly wants me to "help" her because she can't do as much as she wants to on her own. I've encouraged her to just grab and swing, or put her feet/ knees over the bar and swing, but she wants to "flip" (have me move her around to do pullovers and supports and hip circles). She says she "can't" do pull ups/ chin ups on her own, which makes me think she's not as strong in the arms as I thought she was.
I'm not terribly worried about safety because the bar is low and she's not doing anything fast, and I want to avoid "coaching" her at home - so obviously teaching her new skills is out. Any other suggestions of games/ moves/ skills/ drills/ etc I can show her that she'll want to do on her own instead of needing me there every second?
(PS We're going to have the same issue with beam once that arrives for Xmas!)
