[QUOTE="BlueTopaz, post: 625498, member: 17487"] A friend has her young daughter in figure skating -it's fiercely competitive :( . Though that's the team... of course there are just regular skating classes (for gymnastics too). I did drop her off at gymnastics, since it was 2 1/2 hours long - she'd either be fine with me leaving or throw a fit - impossible to know what she'd do. I'd give options, etc. Nothing worked until the therapist worked through her anxiety with her. I did find out that there's another soccer league that is only girls who are just learning the skills, and it's low stress. That sounds like a far better fit. She's been under a lot of stress this year - demanding kindergarten (switching to new much less high-pressure public school in fall), and a rather abrasive gymnastics coach. I've got her signed up for a low-key, all-fun camp with her brother for a few weeks this summer - she needs a break! They just play and go on the water slide and inflatables. Active, but not intense.
