Libby's gym mom

My dd has just turned 7 . The difference from rec to squad us immense . I'm in the uk and think it's me more than dd that finds the pressure immense. And sometimes I can find myself enforcing it at home when I shouldn't be !! She's the youngest squad member and they're keen to pressure her a little as she has 12 months on others in her group " meaning here they can't compete till he year they turn 8 " . We are not allowed to stay for her 9hrs training she does each week , so I rely on talking to her coach about any problems she has . She gets very upset at home if she can't perfect a particular skill, sometimes refusing to even try !! She has a very high expectation of herself too !!
