[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand the idea of a hard no on any sport. Every sport has an intro/rec level that is cheaper and less intense. Why not let your kids try things? Yes dance can be toxic for body image at older ages, but 3 year olds don't really notice that. Yes gymnastics and cheer have a high injury risk and can really mess up the body, but there's not a whole lot of danger in learning a cartwheel. Yes football has a big CTE risk, but flag football exists. Let your kids explore![/quote]

Same. I also am aware that there is so little between into and competition level in the US. My kids know how to ice skate and it would be fun to get better. They I don't want or need to compete. Same with some dance etc. it's good to learn to move your body in different ways and get some skills. Not everything needs to be a dedication/passion and intense commitment. It's sad that a kid can't decide at 10 that they want to try something and there isn't really a way for them to do it in a chill way. [/quote]
