[quote=Anonymous]My daughter did track thru high school. These are the instructions I received from her regarding my attendance and participation... Freshman year: Do not cheer. Not the team, not her, and in no way acknowledge association. Sophomore year: Limited cheering in a general sense for the team is allowed. Avoid being a prominent fan, and still absolutely forbidden to cheer for her individually, or make my relationship with her obvious. (While acknowledging other team parents will figure it out.) Junior year: A breakthrough! I am allowed to call out her name. Still, encouraged to be "low key" Senior year. Anything goes! Whoop it up! Throughout a 4 years, what was clear was that she appreciated my support, even when it was only a silent presence. So, OP, if you can respect your kids wishes, you can make it through this completely normal and developmently appropriate period! :) [/quote]
