My dd (7 y.o. level 4) has been wearing glasses to school now for about a year. Lately, she has said to me that it is hard for her to see the coaches when they are giving instructions (especially vault) because she doesn't wear her glasses to gymnastics. She never had to wear her glasses before for physical activity, but I think it's time.
She is very hesitant to be "the only one" in the gym wearing glasses. Trying to warm her up to the notion, we were online last night looking at kids retainer straps for her glasses and there are so many to choose from. Are there any parents out there that have kids that wear glasses to gymnastics? What is the best type of retainer strap to wear? Any tips on how to help her get through this?
