I have a child in a similar position, although quite a lot older, and in a sport that's not as dangerous as gymnastics, but more expensive and potentially eating disorder-invoking. I've been taken aside y several coaches and told we have a natural talent on our hands. We're doing the same as you, keeping it light, fun and letting the child lead the way (last week I was asked if there were two hour classes they could attend LOL, no!). And, of course, hoping like mad the shine wears off when it starts to get really expensive/dangerous.
As far as I can tell you should get several more years before you have to start carefully picking a training facility which strikes the right balance. It's scary! There are even more hothousing parents in sports than there are in academics!
