Has anyone put their daughter into gymnastics?

Question

My daughter is 2 and she love to flip, jump, twirl etc...I was thinking about putting her into a tumbling tots program at a gymnastics place in our area. The classes are only 30 minutes and seem like a lot of fun. Has anyone ever put their child into gymnastics? What are your oppinions? Did you or your chilld like it? What do you feel is the perfect age to start? Thanks

Answer 1

Sure, tot gym classes are fine at this age.  My daughter took them and had a lot of fun.  Just be sure that the classes are age appropriate. (In our community, classes are available at the YMCA and several gyms/gymnastics schools around town.

Answer 2

A while back I worked in child care and the centre had a mobile toddlers gym that would come for the children, it is done in the safest way, the kids absolutely loved it and looked forward to it every week.

Answer 3

i help out at the local nursery and they have a weekly seesion of 30 minuted of fabtots which is a baby gym class. They work with the 2 yr olds and the kids seem to love it, i would recommend it!

Answer 5

That's when my mom put me into gymnastics, for the same reasons.  I loved it!  And as I got older, I was so glad my mom started me early.  I never competed or anything, but I did shows, parades, etc.  And I ended up teaching gymnastics when I was in high school.

So, yes!  I think it's a great idea!
