answer:Both of my girls are involved in gymnastics, and they both asked to be. My oldest daughter does fairly well, but only started when she was 10. My youngest, however, started right after she turned 4. She is now 6, and without any mother’s bias at all, let me just say that child kicks some gymnastics ass. My oldest has previously participated in soccer, which she’s thinking about going back to. She also tried swim team and did amazingly well, but she caught pneumonia, so we pulled her.
