DD has been taking classes for about 6 months now... she loved her first teacher and freaked out a little bit when she ended up with a new one at one point, but after 1 week she was fine. So I signed her up for a second session with a new coach and she doesn't like him at all! At first I thought it was just like before-- freaked out b/c it changed up the routine, but she has has 2 classes so far... of course she cooperates and does what she is told, but she doesn't seem happy! With the other coaches there is a nice blend of seriousness and fun. This guy is all business.. I do think he tries to be fun... but it doesn't really work! She actually didn't want to go to gymnastics today!!! This from a kid that usually wakes up every morning asking "Do I have gymnastics today??!".
What do I do... ? Do I see if she can switch into a different class?? Do I view it as a learning experience for her-- to understand that just because she doesn't like someone doesn't mean she can just quit?
The last thing I want is for her to start hating gymnastics, when it is clearly something she loves.
Thoughts?
