Tonight, the kids had gymnastics. Hannah is in Parent and Me, and Matthew is in the boys novice class. One of Hannah's favorite events is the beam. From the first class, Hannah was able to balance on the beam on her own. Later, she lost some of her confidence, and started asking for more help. She was doing kicks on the high beam tonight as I held her right hand. After the first few kicks, she asked me to hold her on the other side. As a mom, it really illustrated the problem to me - we can't be everywhere at once, as much as we would like to. How can I teach Hannah to balance, when I can't balance myself?
