[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When did parents start watching their kids practices? That was never something parents did when I was growing up. Parents would drop the kids off, or the kids would arrive on their own. The coaches don't want you there, your kids don't want you there, and you shouldn't want to be there. [/quote] I was so surprised by this when my kids started sports. I still stay for my first grader because I know he would be sad if no parent was there if he got a minor injury or something. But I've been dropping off my fourth grader for over a year now unless there's not enough time to go home and come back. Most of his things are less than 10 minutes from home. Even when I stay on site for either kid, I don't sit there and watch. I either bring work or use the time to go for a walk if it's nice out. [/quote]
