[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d assume it’s gymnastics.   Stop taking this competitive sport so seriously.   I get it’s mostly the other girl but try to figure out why your daughter.   It’s probably her mother is starting it by speaking negatively about your daughter when they’re alone.

Don’t take it seriously and stay away from this mother.  Remember by high school 95% of the these tiny 10 year olds will have moved on from competitive gymnastics. [/quote]

Not necessarily coming from the other girl's mom. When my daughter was doing gymnastics the girls would absolutely size each other up. They had in their minds who was best and who wasn't and they noticed and resented when other girls surpassed them or gained skills quicker. They would absolutely be jealous if they felt someone was getting ahead of them.[/quote]

It’s the mothers.  They set the tone.  Of course the kids know who is doing the best.  They have eyes.  It’s up to the parents to teach them good sportsmanship and how it doesn’t define them based on who can flip higher than the other.

If one of the girls got top score did you go up to the girl and tell her how much you enjoyed her routine?   Lead by example.  It does make a difference e.  [/quote]
