[quote=Anonymous]OP, consider why you care so much about this, as the person who is not in the pool. As a parent your job is to get the kid to practice and provide general words of encouragement/wisdom as needed. That’s basically it. Worrying about cuts and birthdays suggests you are very invested. Consider how that may translate into your child feeling pressure from you even if you don’t think you’re putting any pressure on them. I understand as a parent we spend a lot of time and money on our kids’ sports endeavors. But at the end of the day what matters is what the kids learn about themselves and the world from putting effort into something that is meaningful to them. Let your kid and the coach worry about this kind of stuff. Just be a parent who enjoys watching them do something they love. [/quote]
