[QUOTE="DDD, post: 299176, member: 35"] I'm competitive by nature but stressing out children is not acceptable. The Moms very often are the ones who are trophy happy. An unnamed family member, lol, was not a popular teen. She had a beautiful daughter who started cheer at 5 or 6. Her team was often the top honors group in the State. By the end of middle school, the daughter was "sick of cheer" and wouldn't even try out for the high school squad.......the Mom's much dreamed about goal. It's ironic. If you ever watch that television show "Tiaras and ??" about beauty competitions for children you can't help but think "OMG, these adults are NUTS!" :sick: I saw it last week and it was in rural WV. The parents lived in single wides and spent like three grand for contest clothing for their five year old "who loves competing and winning trophies". I can't tolerate the demolition of childhood. Good Grief kids are not kids for very long. Let them play and have fun! So glad you were able to put some common sense back into play. Way To Go! DDD [/QUOTE]
