[quote=Anonymous]I'm conflicted by your post. On the one hand you say this is what your daughter wants, on the other how would a 5 year old know what it means or takes to be a competitive gymnast? So, part of me feels like you are projecting this desire on your daughter. I've known competitive gymnasts in elementary vs college (both D1 and D3). Of 3 childhood friends, 2 retired by age 12 due to serious back injuries. There are many health reasons (mental and physical) to not enroll your daughter in competitive gymnastics at age 5. Let her continue to have fun with the sport. There is plenty of time for competition later in life.[/quote]
