Trophy Kids
I was watching this show on Netflix and it made me think about or Psychology Class. Basically, it is about kids around California that have been worked to be the best athlete they can be and it somehow ends up working for them or doesn't. They have received all the private training in the world, but some of them max out way too early. I think this also brings up a parenting aspect and how far can you really push your kid? Every kid thinks different and has different thinking processes to certain situations. One thing I noticed in the show is that the kids seemed to lose the fire and passion behind sports. It seemed as if the parents wanted it more. It's a very interesting show, check it out. It is called Trophy Kids and makes you really think about the psychological aspects of relationships between parents and their kids.

I think sometimes, the parents want the pride of being able to say that their child has won so many prestigious awards, or perhaps that he/she is being recruited or playing even professionally. While parents do care about their children's well-being and happiness, ultimately, some parents want to live vicariously through their children, and have them do things that they wish that they could do. In doing this, doing something because one's parents wants it, children can eventually grow tired of doing it for someone else and eventually become burned out and give up.
