11/16 "My Kid's a Star"

Quote From: kendall

"At any time, if my daughter decides she does not want to sing we will support her decision, but we do encourage our kids to finish what they start and not to be quitters when the going gets tough. " 

  

How bad are you going to make her feel before you "support her decision"?  It's a hobby, you're making it a career.  Let her be nine, just have fun with it for now.   

"My 12 year old daughter’s a good soccer player, she could be on a premier team, we could run to tournaments every weekend, have her practice excessively, she had a chance to try out for the Olympic training program. She’s not doing all that right because she needs to see that there is more to life than just soccer. If she says no to practice or a game than no it is.  If she’s unprepared and she gets benched then it was her choice.  If it’s their true calling you don’t have to push because it’s not like brushing your teeth."
