[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did any parents of high level swimmers who quit have irrational worries or anxiety about it? Like, worries that your swimmer would lose all the obvious physical benefits of the sport such as fitness? Or the benefits of having a structured schedule that minimized potentially more risky activities like parties, etc.? How much did you guide your ex swimmer through the transition? What's ok to say and what's not?[/quote] I think this is very common. Often when a kid finally tells parent they want to quit, they've been thinking about it for a long time, etc., so it seems easy for the kid. But it's really hard on the parent to come to terms with. Don't feel bad about being anxious, etc. Totally normal, but you will adjust. And you'll feel better once you see your kid getting more sleep, trying new things, etc.[/quote]
