Comment on XC Running: Does anyone else's parents do this?

I mean a dose of realism and honesty from parents is a much needed commodity these days but this is too much. Especially if the kid has proved so much dedication for an activity I think he or she deserves praise for only that to start with. Also I think comparing your kids with others’ kids is quite problematic as well and opens the door to a life long trauma of excessive self criticality and too much perfectionism.
