[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would consider it terrible and abusive parenting if any of the parent's motivation was the hope of a college scholarship.[/quote] Sad thing is most kids will not get a scholarship. So, it is kinda abusive. [/quote] People on this thread really need to stop throwing around the word “abuse” so cavalierly. Not minimizing how awful it is when intense parents force their kids into stupid youth sports scenarios… but when we have unthinkable things happening to kids every minute of every day, there’s something that really bothers me when for days now people on this thread have used that word to describe parents that allow their kids to do early morning swim practices. To me, it diminishes the plight of children on a true spectrum of abuse. (PS - not saying I think early morning practice is a stupid youth sports scenario. It works for some kids and families and it doesn’t for others.) [/quote]
