Proud Parent
If you hear all of the time that the parents would like some communication, then you should take a step back and really ask yourself if you are communicating with them and respecting them. For me, these are my kids and it is my money. If I feel like the coaches don't respect my need to be kept just a little updated then we have an issue. Yes. It is my child's gymnastics. But I am the one who has to deal with an upset kid when s/he doesn't understand something. And I am the one making the decision for if what they are getting out if gymnastics is worth their time, my time and my money. If my child is consistently confused or unhappy I likely will decide that either gymnastics or this gym is NOT worth it. While coaches know *gymnastics* better than most parents, most parents know their kids better. It all works so much better when the parents and coaches respect the importance of each each's contributions.
