[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stay away from gymnastics.  Based on personal experience it's one of the worst sports out there.  It's hard on the kids body, can stunt growth, very expensive, and very time consuming.  Also, it was a contributing factor to DD developing an eating disorder.  My advise is to stay away from this sport and try something else.  Had someone warned me early on, I would never allow my kids to do this sport.  We have spent the last year getting DD healthy, and now she's moved onto other sports and much, much happier.  [/quote]

This. I have two friends who were competitive gymnasts- neither of then allowed their daughters to do gymnastics beyond basic classes for the under 8 crowd. One of the DDs is very into [b]competitive dance[/b] and the other plays soccer and does swim team.

Just saying.

I did sign my DD up for gymnastics- she enjoyed it for awhile- got tired of it by 8-9. [/quote]

Competitive dance has the same issues with eating disorders.[/quote]
