Is there anyone here who doesn't watch meets? I am considering no longer watching meets because it is torture and I don't think it does my child any good. She does not like us to watch practice, but was very upset the one time we couldn't make it to a meet. I'm afraid that if I stop watching it will send the message that I don't care about her, but on the other hand it could have all sorts of benefits.
For what it's worth, I banned my own parents from watching all sports competitions and many musical performances when I was a kid.
