My granddaughter competed in just about anything a little girl could compete in around here, some local pageants but mostly sports and animals. She loved it, it was her personality type and now she’s in college. After being a college cheerleader for 2 years she has a work study job as an ambassador and does a lot of PR and public speaking. I believe she will go far whatever she chooses to do and all that competition prepared her for it.
If you make it fun but make her realize that she has to do her best if she wants to do it and it isn’t just for your glory then why not.
thank you.
she knows she’s adored and it’s not about the crown, but it is so tempting to make that the focus when you’re in the midst of the event... quite a balancing act. Could be the same in sports. Doing our absolute best is the goal
