I just need a quiet place to take a couple of deep breaths and move on.
DD has come home from her practices this week frustrated about floor. She has a couple of weeks before the next meet, so they have been working more advanced skills more of their rotations than we they are preparing for a meet. She loves that. However, on floor she hasn't been moved along in her tumbling and feels slighted. Granted, tumbling isn't her strongest event, but she said that both practices, her coach praised her ro2bhs and yet didn't move her on to tucks while moving other girls on.
Now, I told her she needed to talk to her coach if she wanted to know what she had to do to move on. She won't and I told her I was not going to because she needs to stand up for herself if she wants something. I reminded her that there could be many reasons and, that if she doesn't ask, anything I say (especially since I am not there) is pure speculation.
The situation on floor overshadowed fun and successful practices on bars and beam. Of course at 10, she doesn't realize thst she may have moved onto flyaways and roundoffs on beam while others, who moved on on floor, may not have.
Mama Bear wants to rush in and solve her problem. Lol. I feel better already. I just wish the coach would communicate more with her or she felt more able to ask herself. She is having fun and progressing. I just hate those days when she comes home frustrated and mom can't do anything to fix it.
I do know that the next practice will likely be totally fine. I just hate when she leaves practice and started complaining the second we get in the car.
