[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d pull her out and tell her she’s not mature enough for gymnastics but maybe she can try again in a year or so. [/quote] Don’t shame the kid! This isn’t the right fit for her right now- and that is fine. At her age, the class should be fun and engaging. If this coach is too firm with developmentally inappropriate expectations- move her to something she can feel good about and enjoy. I agree in helping kids meet expectations. But sometimes those expectations are not in line with a child’s development. Get her out of there! Find something that meets her where she is. Wondering if you, the parent, we’re really in to gymnastics. And secretly hoping your kid would be too. Just because it isn’t a fit now, doesn’t mean it won’t always be. But forcing the issue is only going to backfire somewhere down the line. [/quote] +1[/quote]
