[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also don't understand when parents berate their kids for not dropping time, not winning, etc. As if the kid decided before they jumped off the blocks that they were going to try to go slow, mess up the turn, etc. It's kind of incredible. I assume my kid is doing the best they can. I also don't live through my kid or need my kid to be fast to feel like I'm a success. And frankly, I don't think I would have done what they are doing at their age in terms of the physical and time demands of swimming. I admire them for their effort, whatever it is![/quote] I love you. Not being snarky but that is good parenting there. I have often wanted to say something when I see a parent berating or nit picking their swimmer. When my kid has a bad swim/meet I am always ready for the hug. [/quote]
