[quote=Anonymous]There is a girl in my daughters school who has been made to become "the best" in a sport. Think dance moms but worse. The child has been pushed and dragged from the time she was small to practice every day for hours. She is made to miss many of the "average " things in life that a girl her age should have experience with and her personality is hard to swallow because of the missed opportunities to develop normally. She is also anxious. Another child has been made to be "the best" in academics and also has tremendous anxiety and is not allowed to do some of the normal things that kids do. You would not want either of these children to be your own. If you believe that a little extra hard work leads to being #1 you are mistaken. Talent takes a back seat to the hours upon hours of work it takes to be the best. It is a sad price to pay for something that really, let's face it, impresses no one for more than a few minutes and makes the kid miserable.[/quote]
