But the media is proud to proclaim those few successes making parents think their child will be the next.

I always encourage children to be active in sports, BUT, that's a healthy thing. To take interest in some sort of sport is to teach them some sort of exercise, ( to run and play.) A Child needs to learn who they are, no parent should try to decide for them who they are. Each child needs to "find" him or her self. Every child needs to live their childhood, because, they grow up too fast before our eyes and if they enjoy a healthy childhood, then, they grow up to be ready for adulthood.

I hate to see parents pushing their kids to live the dreams that the parents didn't. They want their kids to be big stars so they can live vicariously through them.

Despite the intentions, the child will grow up to resent their parents. There is all kinds of abuse and unrealistic expectations.

Let's hope Chinese authorities put a stop to this abuse. Disgusting to see dad riding a bike while his 8-yr-old daughter runs. Why doesn't he get off his a** and run, too?
