[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on what your other commitments are and how important this event is to your child. We only have one kid but sometimes DH has work commitments can't make all these events. But if it was a big deal to our child he would absolutely do his best to make it. So sending someone else to work conference or in your case hiring a babysitter so you can attend the tournament.[/quote]

New poster here. I do a lot with Science Olympiad. This will be an all-day event and the OP's older child will be inside classrooms and labs and with teammates and teachers studying and prepping between events -- there is no need for OP to be there. Maybe the child will demonstrate a "mousetrap vehicle" or other device that parents can watch but that's mere moments in a very long day.

OP, don't take your toddler to this. If there's an awards ceremony at the very end you might turn up for just that, though it's highly likely to be crowded, late, and loud, so sit where you can slip out with the toddler.

Your child doing Sci Oly wil be so focused on his or her events, partners and coaches that your not being there will be no big deal, honestly. Good luck to your kid and the team! Go enjoy some special one on one time with your toddler![/quote]
