Today was the first day of practice. My cp is on youth 2. My daughter turned 6 in Feb. & I believe the youngest turns 9 in a month or so.
For this reason my daughter is the smallest. She needs to fly! She is fairly flexible and has her backhand spring and all that good stuff.
Well, today they paired off in stunt groups and my cp is crying. She wouldn't go in a prep and definitely wouldn't go into an extension. She was so terrified; all the girls were so nice to her she is just scared.
She never wanted to fly on tiny or mini last year plus she was too tall! She is on mini this year and I'm sure she won't be flying because she is still tall. It's just youth so it's her first real time. I'm not sure what caused her to be afraid.
One time at open gym one of the boys who just made our open team went to throw her up into like a one man stunt and she freaked out. So I don't know if that's why she is scared or what. I asked her does she think she is going to fall, or she is going to be dropped.. She said "no it's just really high."
So I want to know anyone who had a young kid who flew for a level 2 or higher team, what age did they start? Did they have this fear? && any ideals how to make her not be afraid? If this continues a couple more practices I will pull her off the team because that's not fair to everyone!
