My daughter is in cheer. She’s 6 and has been doing sideline cheer (rec league with the city) since she was 4 with a little bit of competition at the end of the seasons here and there. Today she finished a Dallas cowboys cheer camp and REALLY loved it, but I noticed it’s not the same as sideline cheer and that it’s more danced based. Is there something else I should look to put her in? Would dance or something like drill team be a better option? Let me know your thoughts! Thanks for helping a mom out!!!

We live in DFW Texas. My son plays rec soccer for the city and he played his last game for the season this Saturday. We got approached by another coach who saw my son play & asked about grade level and asked if we would like to try out to a smaller local club since the city’s season is over. My son was with us when he asked and now he’s super hyped up to try it out. He gave me a breakdown on costs and said the first few weeks of practice would be free to see how he fits in. We looked up the club and it seems to be a smaller FC not associated with the city the way Rec is but is labeled “city name FC”. I see a lot of ads for them on FB marketplace & whatnot. this normal to be approached during the games? Should I take the offer seriously or just assume they do this with all the kids they see that are in that age range?

My son is in the middle of potty training and has finally beat the fear of the toilet and actually prefers the normal one with a potty seat over his little toilet. The issue is he will ONLY go if he is naked from the waist down. That’s the only way we knew he would use it and get over his fear because if he has a pull up or training undies on he likes the comfort of having something there so he won’t even try. We want him to feel ok using the potty with something on since he can’t be in PK3 half naked. How did you guys get them to go when they had a pull up or undies on? We send him to the toilet every hour or so and even have a sticker Chart that he fills up beautifully when he’s half naked. We do it out in public too so he can feel ok going outside the house which he has done but for some reason only at Aldi. No other public space. Thanks for any helpful insight you may have!
