[quote=Anonymous] I don't like cheerleading because it's dangerous and a bit too "come-hither" for me, BUT I admit to being equally invested in my children attaining a certain standard of achievement and being recognized as such. I go crazy for academic subjects and music, and couldn't care less about sports. Different topic, same madness :-) So I can relate to both of you. My advice is: 1. To keep listening to your daughter and not push too hard in a direction she may not want or be fit for. 2. To check yourself and maintain a calm demeanour especially around other parents and coaches - you don't want to be *that* parent, because you'll lose credibility and they'll make fun of the whole family. 3. To accept failure when it comes. Because at some point, it WILL come. [/quote]
