[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wanting to spend time alone, even if it is a special outing like a ball game or a movie or a concert. Special events do not have to be 1:1, and anyone pushing for 1:1 (especially sleepovers or trips) is to be questioned and vetted. [/quote]

This just common sense. Groomers look for lazy, overwhelmed or checked out parents. Don’t be any of those things, the groomer will pick someone else. [/quote]

This is true but they also look for parents who are so involved that they will ignore their better judgment.  Child actors and aspiring sports stars and dancers are major targets, despite having very involved parents, because the groomer can flatter the kid/parent to get access to— eg, oh your kid has such talent, I should take them to this special training or do this special technique with them.  A lot of groomers try to make the target feel special/unique etc and that can extend to the parents as well.  You have to be willing to say “I don’t care if this is the best , most famous and successful gymnastics program in the country — this all seems inappropriate to me.”   The creepy boyfriend is looking for the checked out or exhausted mom, but the creepy softball coach might be lookkkg for the parent who is totally invested in their kids sports career.
