[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cut the cord. Your child's successes or failures are theirs, not yours. And high school sports is completely inconsequential. [/quote] Sure isn't inconsequential TO THE KID. My kid made varsity this year as a freshman - he didn't expect it, it happened, and it was an incredible experience for him. Having a group of men invest in him, encourage him, teach him, push him...he grew in so many ways - plus he loved playing his sport. Of course we want all of that for our kids! My kid has learning disabilities and has never found that level of connection with a teacher. I don't care who my son finds those supportive relationships with, whether it is through academics or sports or community service or the arts. But all kids deserve it, and so if you are waiting to find out if your kid is going to make a team that could offer all that...yes, you sweat it out.[/quote]
