We have a rule in our house that once you sign up for something, you must complete the season/session you signed up for. Beyond that, at the end of each season/session I give the kids the option to decide if they want to sign up again or let it go. I feel like this teaches them not to be a quitter and let down a team or group they signed on with but also gives them an "out" if it turns out that whatever it is isn't their thing. For instance, Drew joined band in 5th grade and played through the 6th grade. After that, he decided it wasn't for him, so he quit. Tony played one season of basketball and decided he didn't like it that much so he switched to wrestling.
I think it's good that you are letting DD take a break from gymnastics if that is what she wants. Who knows, maybe after a few weeks/months away she will decide she misses it and ask to go back. I know sometimes I need a break from things or I get burnt out so maybe that's where your DD is.
