[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know what is hilarious here?

Pushing kids athletically vs pushing kids academically are the same thing.

Also- kids can do both.

I think that blows peoples minds a bit but wow. Most of mom friends with teen athletes tell me that their kids are also incredibly smart.

Pushing is still pushing. And the kids will still love their parents as long as there is down time and kindness.[/quote]

Yup. Why are people ok with their student athletes being pushed? Dear god, these athletes are pushed to the MAX…by coaches, parents, classmates. They face far more stress than other students. Why do we spend so much time criticizing “Tiger moms” but not the parents who are desperately hoping their kids get athletic scholarships?  [/quote]

Crazy sports parents get plenty of flack. We don’t talk about it in the AAP forum though.

As a parent of a kid who is both smart and athletic, I do think about how to keep him from burning out on either thing. The good thing is that the sports give him an outlet when school is hard, and vice versa.[/quote]
