[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rising 1st grader is on a preteam at gymnastics and she loves it but isn’t always the best behaved. Doing cartwheels when she isn’t supposed to, getting on the trampoline, tickling other girls etc. Coach has had several conversation with her, had her sit out, and if so extra conditioning. Friday after practice she told me that she wants her to write “I will not good off at practice” 10 times at being it to the next practice because she just doesn’t seem to be taking the other reprimands seriously and the other girls on her team are not having this issue. I was kind of shocked by the request to make a 6yr old write lines for just silly behavior. My daughter absolutely loves the class and doesn’t not want to quit so I guess we will do the lines, but I feel this is really outdated and not going to be very effective. [/quote]

Writing lines may or may not be effective as a disciplinary mechanism, but it is a disciplinary mechanism that hopefully makes it clear to YOU, the parent, that your daughter's behavior is a significant issue and you need to figure out how you can help the coaches get her on track.

I have had a six year old that I could drop off at an activity in complete confidence that she would be well behaved. I posted a lot of DCUM comments at her events.

I have another six year old that I need to be all over like white on rice to keep her on track.
