My 4 year old does both and loves both the same! Gymnastics helps her dance and dance helps her gymnastics! Its expensive to do both tho...over $120 a month

I prefer to go with the one they want most :) We actually prefer swim clubs/competive swimming :)

My daughter is in tap, ballet and gymnastics. She`s been in them for about 6 months and she loves to go to all of them!

Ask her which she wants to do more. She`s probably old enough to decide for herself. Cost does factor in though-maybe you could put her into dance for a year and then when she`s old enough to compete ask her if she wants to go back to gymnastics.

She has actually been in both for over a year but we are going to have to pick one or the other soon.

I was a competitive gymnast for years and if you think your child would enjoy it I would sign them up. I owe a lot of my self confidence, ability to overcome obstacles, and perseverance to what I learned in gymnastics. I think it is wonderful! I tried dance but it wasn`t as engaging to me because I incorporated a lot of dance into my floor routines. I`m about to sign my toddler up for gymnastics classes, but if he wants to try dance, more power to him. I will base what he does on what he enjoys to do. Heck, he might hate both and end up in soccer. :)

Wow...my kid just started level three training( can`t compete until she is five, though) and we pay almost 200 a month. Dance is 75 a month but she is still in the little kid class. It will get more expensive as she moves up.

I have all 3 of my children in Gymnastics. My girls 8 and 6 LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. It was the best thing I ever did was sign them up. My son who is 3 is in Kindergym and LOVES it. He gets all his energy out. Since starting in Oct. my girls have moved from level 1 to 3 & 4. They can do the splits and kinds of flip over back bends. Its amazing to see what they can do once they put there mind to it. I doesnt break the bank for me. Its $120 every 6 weeks for all 3.

my son`s gymnastics class has music and jumping around in it, that`s probably not far off from what a dance class would do at age 3. I like the cool in floor trampoline, balance beams, uneven bars, lots of climbing structures that gymnastics offers. Swim class is his favorite though and kids NEED to learn that one.

My kid loves both equally but let`s face it, she will have no time and break the bank doing both for more than three years.....

  1. Bookworms - is anyone reading the new Khaled Hosseini book `And the Mountains Echoed`? I pre-ordered it on kindle which should have arrived today (I haven`t checked yet) but was wondering if anyone would be interested in a group read?
  2. HELP - my 3 year old daughter is developing a phobia to fluff! I feel responsible, I have a ridiculous phobia of bees and wasps - to the point it hinders my ability to enjoy playing out in the garden during the summer, it`s detrimental. My kids have picked up on this and are sh*t scared of bees and wasps, but with my daughter it was soon spiders, then ants and now, tiny black bits of fluff - which she finds all over; on her pillow etc. It`s genuine terror in her face as she screams she can see them moving and they`re `going to get her` or `bite her`. What do I do? She`s old enough to be reasoned with that they don`t move and we pick most of them off before bedtime, but she wakes in the night and starts crying that `The Fluff`s coming...!!` How can I help her? Do you think this is just a phase or do you think it`s worth seeking some sort of external, professional help to nip this in the bud? I HATE the thought of passing on my phobias and anxieties to my children - it`s no way to live to be a constant worrier about things beyond your control and I;ve suffered with anxiety and panick attacks for nearing 6 years now and can`t ever remember just feeling `normal` and `well` - I can`t remember my life before my first panick attack. This is NOT what I want for my children...
  3. On Facebook I saw one of those like pictures, a mom who sent her child to school for days wearing out of style `ugly` clothes because she was bullying another girl about her clothes. Mom`s yourselves, what do you think of this type of punishment?
  4. Can anyone relate? My 4 year old is making all sorts of amazing connections which is great that he`s thinking about the world, but some of his thoughts are quite deep. He`s a natural born worrier (gets that from me!) and I try to protect him from as much as I can but there`s things that can`t be avoided. Ie, ever since Easter, he`s been plagued with fear about getting holes in him like Jesus (he learnt it at Kindy). Well just this evening he came out with `Why do you and Margo (Grandma) have holes in your ears like Jesus? Did you get your ears nailed to a cross?` He`s also obsessed with the fear of death.
  5. Family of 4 flying Southwest tomorrow (2.5-hr flight), baby riding in carseat on plane so can only sit by window. Flight is full. Which seating arrangement would you choose...
  6. I`ve just opened up my facebook newsfeed this morning and there`s a whole bunch of photos of Saturday night antics. First there was one from my 19 year old cousin with her and her friends (looking thrashed out, dirty, bits hanging out of places they shouldn`t and just overall skanky), and another from a friend of mine who is 15 years older on a rare night out with her school friends (who are all mums) who looked gorgeous, fresh, clean, sexy yet classy (let the clothes rather than the skin do the talking - ie you don`t need your ass and boobs hanging out to show off a nice little figure) Is it just me, or are young girls looking thrashier than women in their 20s, 30s and 40s?
  7. Do you or someone you know raise their now school aged child with attachment parenting (baby wearing, never ever allow the baby to cry it out, cosleeping, baby let snacks and feedings, etc) 8f so, how does the school aged child/ren compare to their peers?
  8. You can only have three of the four when buying a house. Which do you sacrifice?
