[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. To be clear, I don't think my kid is going to the Olympics. I'm asking how to respond in a way that is encouraging, since she really enjoys this activity and I think it would be great for her personally to keep pursuing it, without building up a dream that is 99.9999999999% a pipe dream. Agree we need to look into year round swim options.[/quote] C’mon OP. It’s an anonymous forum. You can admit that you have very high hopes for your 8 year old’s swimming. [/quote]I was actually thinking the opposite - that OP wanted to prevent high hopes from her daughter. Kind of crush the dream without crushing her. I have those thoughts about my DD who says she wants to be a singer but is absolutely tone deaf. I have yet to tell her she’s tone deaf, but I will if she ever tells me she wants to audition for America’s Got Talent.[/quote]
