[quote=Anonymous]If you can remove your mom eyes and look at her objectively, how naturally talented is she? Are you tall people or is your family full of short, thin people? Competitive gymnastics has such a tiny window requiring a certain specific body type and a great deal of natural aptitude to be successful. If your child is coming from a genetically larger/bigger boned/tall family pool, and is not 100% driven and fearless with natural strength and flexibility, then just wait and let her guide the increase in training. Very, very few gymnasts achieve at an elite level. Even if she does not advance quickly in competitive gymnastics, she can still develop skills that will help with things like dance, diving and cheerleading just by sticking with a recreational program.[/quote]
