[skinner05]

Do these parents realise they are runing their childs youth?

[p4cks]

Deluded, all of them.

There's some seriously cuckoo parenting on that thar tv programme!

[skinner05]

"we dont let him play out incase he gets knocked down. He doesn't realise how valuable he is"

I feel sorry for the kids. I'm a believer in supporting kids and giving them encouragement but christ these parents are way beyond pushy.

I'm at work and can't see it, but is it about "Parental Fear Syndrome"?

the boxing dad.. my wife left me...

all barking... not that any of them are thinking of the $$$

[AlexKP]

Oh right - it's about parents trying to "create" children who are extremely successful at a particular activity, right?

So sad when parents think they have the right to choose what their child does with their life and force them to undergo training in pursuit of this goal.

[Broccers]

Which is worse - estate breeders who ignore their kids or OTT parents?

How many rows of that teeth did that Asian lad have then? He'd be the envy of a shark.

These golf ones are complete nutters. The epically stupid parents think that he is going to earn them millions and they are stealing the poor kid's childhood. Complete skiprats the pair of them.

I'd say some of these parents are treating their kids no better than if they had a dog they were entering in Crufts..

[JRM]

That golfing Dad, what a ! How can you treat a kid like that showing total dissapointment to the poor kid. How about some encouragement you dick

[skinner05]

That Billy looks a top player but his dad is going to ruin him if he continues to caddy for him. Compare that Billys swing to the Wolfs and you can see which one will make it

I must admit I watched him and thought he had mad skillz.

[Steamer]

Actually I feel Very sorry for that 'wolf' kid... (despite my pervious post)

his dad said:

This is why people don't speak to you - because you'll be able to by 10 of these (looking at a Ferrari)

Thats sad.

Would it not be the case that the kids who are going to go on and become world champions already have enough talent and publicity that they don't need to sign up to CH4 documentary?
