[quote=Anonymous]Interesting, I live in a small town that is all about sports and there are always parents at all the events. I remember zero parents being at any sports events when I was growing up (I am 43 now). I recently went to a fantastic talk by Michael Thompson, PHD: http://michaelthompson-phd.com and he talked about how parents hover so much these days and don;t allow the kids to do their own thing and tell them about it later. He specifically used sports as an example and talked about how gone are the days of the kids coming home from events and giving the parents the play by play at dinner because now parents are always there. I found it really interesting. He mentioned asking the kids if they really wanted their parents there at every single game.[/quote]
