[quote=Anonymous]My God, if she wants to try it, let her try it. Don't let your anxiety and fear take control. I was raised that way and I am now a bit resentful about always being told no because I might hurt myself or I probably wouldn't be any good. Trust me, it did a number on my confidence. I have an 11 year old who started gymnastics at 3 and wanted to quit at 6, and this was a kid who has the body and talent for it. Tall, lean, very strong and athletic. I wanted her to keep going because she was so naturally good at it but she lost interest and has since moved on to soccer, swimming and running. She will now take a class here or there and she does summer camp but that's it. Stop putting the cart before the horse. [/quote]
