[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why haven't you talked to your daughter about her behavior?

Is she always this fidgety? Does she have adhd?[/quote]

I have never had any complaints from school, other than she has used a few choice words(she can fiery) 
I do talk to her about it and [b]she mostly just ignores the conversation[/b] and says she will listen next time. She will usually do better for the next couple of practices and [b]then she’s back to doing what she wants instead of listening. [/quote]

Apparently talking to her isn’t effective. Since you seem unwilling to discipline her, it is up to the gymnastics coach to try to modify her behavior. If she can’t remember to behave appropriately when you tell her to, maybe writing lines will help her remember. Ten short lines seems very reasonable for a first grader.

When my kids were doing gymnastics, even if it was an hour of open gym, the instructors gave them a lecture every time that gymnastics was DANGEROUS, involving height, flight, and rotation. Aside from being a nuisance by goofing off, her behavior could lead to her or someone else getting hurt. Even if what she’s doing isn’t directly dangerous, if it keeps someone from hearing instructions, or distracts a gymnast in the middle of an action or distracts the teacher from supervising that action, she becomes a hazard.

Just because the school hasn’t complained is irrelevant. Maybe your child behaves better at school, or maybe they simply put up with it. But you know she’s behaving inappropriately at gymnastics, which under the best of circumstances is disrespectful to her teacher and the other students. You need to get this behavior under control, and if you can’t you need to remove her from the class until she matures enough to participate respectfully and safely. [/quote]
