[quote=Anonymous]I took music lessons as a child and we were taught to approach the other students after the concert and compliment specific things about their playing. I will frequently now compliment the other children studying music with my children, telling them that I enjoyed the way they played with feeling, etc. Will also tell another parent how much I enjoyed their child's performance, how much they have grown musically since last year. I have been amazed, however, at the degree to which people don't compliment other people's kids and I do think it's because some parents will regard another talented or smart child (in any field, sports, etc.) as a "competitor" to their own child. I have actually wondered if such people kind of wish your child would fall down and break their leg so that Tamara could get their spot on the soccer team. I don't actually see a whole lot of "it takes a village" in these parts.[/quote]
