[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never left my kids for practice. The coach was there to coach, not to be an unpaid babysitter.

Please tell me your kid never played, say, school sports then. I guess since you said "unpaid," then no.[/quote]

If you don't see the difference between high school sports teams and 5 year olds, there's no point having a conversation with you.[/quote]

As a parent of teenagers, I always find it bizarre when people ask where parents transition from one thing to another and parents of young children declare they will never do so.

As someone with 3 multi-sport high school athletes, one of whom will soon be a college athlete, I can tell you that if your kid does not stop playing, at some point you will stop staying at every practice in case they need the bathroom.  So, never is a ridiculous answer.

Is there a difference between 5 year olds and varsity athletes?  Of course, but that difference comes over years of gradual growth.  Which is why the OP asks the question, when is it reasonable to leave them?[/quote]
