Yea. I'm more disturbed by seeing parents dress up 6 year olds in pageants with all that makeup and gowns rather then letting them be kids. It seem they are living through their kids on their fantasies in stead of what the child wants.
I've seen that TV show on ABC or whatever it is with my girlfriend. It horrified me and made me, once again, weep for American society.
Unfortunately, yes. Let kids be kids. Stop living your life through them at an early age. Live through them when they decide their own path.
Yeah what struck me about it wasn't so much that as the fact of how vicious these parents were, all WIN WIN WIN. I kept thinking all throughout watching that these parents were simply, irredeemably horrible people.
On that note I have a big problem with teaching kids at that age and in that context about winning and losing, because in some ways it says to them that if you don't win, you're not as good as the person who did.
