Child Genius show rocked by cheating row
Child Genius show rocked by cheating row
The show has become synonymous with pushy parents going to extraordinary lengths to ensure that their child comes out on top. But tonight one self-confessed “helicopter mum” took the competition on Child Genius to another level when she accused other parents of cheating to get ahead. The competition, which sees children between the ages of eight and 12 pipped against one another in intelligence…

Talk to them about it before they read it on a report card. Sit down with them, and explain that you got a grade you’re not happy with. If you worked hard for it, tell them that. If you didn’t work as hard as you could have, be honest, and express your desire to work harder in the future. Let them know that you’d like their support and advice on how you can improve your grade next time. Show that you’re being mature and proactive about this.
Looks like I'm going to be the 18 yr old virgin who has never dyed her hair or been allowed to make herself dinner alone:')

On not being and The Room by Jonas Karlsson
My dad was not the best of role models. He worked too much. He thought he’d gone to enough church before he had kids. He had little patience. He was a bit of a bully. And he thought his charm would get him through everything. And he put way too much emphasis on our athletics. Especially swimming. Now, I’m not a bully, and I really (usually) enjoy church. I work a bit too much, but I work from…

'Pushy and abusive parents' turning half of 8-16 year olds off playing sport
Pushy, abusive parents are turning children as young as eight off sport, according to a poll. Youngsters report being told they are "too heavy", "lazy to run" or have made a "pathetic mistake" by mums and dads who are highly critical of their performance on the playing field. Some pupils said that their parents had sworn at them, while one admitted they had been told "you're not good enough, you can't do it, you're worthless", the study by Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and the Chance to Shine charity found.
All too often, we can curb their enthusiasm. This is a wake-up call to anyone who supports their children from the boundary, the touchline or the courtside.
Luke Swanson, chief executive of Chance to Shine
In total, nearly half (45%) of the eight to 16-year-olds questioned said the bad behaviour of parents made them feel like they did not want to take part in sport. The findings also highlighted the bad behaviour of adults on the touchline, with 40.6% of those polled saying they had seen parents abusing a coach or referee, 20.7% had witnessed parents abusing other children to benefit their own, and 20.5% saying they had seen abuse of a child's opposite player or team. Nearly half of the children surveyed said that having their mum or dad watching did not affect their performance. Over a third (39.6%) said that having them watch improved their performance, while one in eight (12.4%) said it made it worse. The poll questioned 1,002 eight to 16-year-olds who play sport between March 20 and 25.
We want them to be competitive but there is a line that shouldn't be crossed. That applies to children as well as to any pushy parents watching them.
