How does one go about viewing these? Please help!!

My 5 year old daughter has been in gymnastics since she was a little more than 18 months old. She has progressed in the most phenomenal way over the years (she has been a member of the prep-team since she was 3). She loves it and does it all around the house. Recently, there have been some changes to her schedule at the gym. She now trains for 8 hours a week, up from 3 hours a week. She has some teammates that have missed time due to back and other injuries. She has complained before of her back and hands hurting, and being sore. Again, she is 5 years old, with teammates ranging from 5-7 years old. I have been hearing some statements that gymnastics at such a young age and at such a high volume can actually stunt growth. Some of the other parents have shown concern for the amount of training the girls are doing. Can anyone shed any light on this? Should I be concerned?

Congrats 18ck!

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for when I started this thread!!! If Eric has 10 candy bars and Joe wants 2, how many candy bars does Eric have? That's right 10 candy bars!!

Don't think words can say how much respect or congratulations you deserve. Will leave it at...AWESOME JOB!

I seem to be saying this many times on many threads, but THIS IS AWESOME! Each day I find a "new" thread to check-in or follow. I am a Christian, raised in a Christian home. It is so reassuring to see so many other Christians in here. I just want to share with others a quote that has helped me change my life for the better. "GIGO...garbage in, garbage out." Be aware of what you put into your mind/body, because it will be what everyone else sees in you.

My main source of inspiration comes from my wife and 2 daughters, soon to be 3 daughters (due in May). I am a very motivated and inspired individual. I look for inspiration daily from any source. It may be a line from a song or a quote from an article. I try to pass along some sort of inspiration daily to anybody and everybody I can. With that said, I am just curious....what inspires you or where do you get your inspiration from (internet, books, tv, music, etc.)? Please share, you never know who may use what you post to find his/her inspiration.

Can NEVER have too many!!!

Keep your head up. Stay strong. You can do it!

Down in good 'ol San Antone....for now. Hopefully business will afford the opportunity to move to North of Houston (Woodlands/Conroe areas). Coming over this weekend to look around at things.

I was thinking something along the lines of "Quasi-nerd", or something of the likes.

Indeed. Until you've had it, it's hard to understand. Being from Louisiana and living in Texas, it's nice from time to time to get a taste of home!!
