This is only a step away from 'Toddlers and Tiaras' where they smile all the way through too. Absolutely wrong. No two ways, no exceptions, no nothing. Wrong. Period.

And seeing as you brought him up, maybe you need to do some reading on Andre Agassi, Henry. He was incredibly damaged by his tennis upbringing and he'd give it all up to have his childhood back.

Choosing to practise your ass off at 13 is one thing. Doing what she is at eight can only mean she has 10,000 hours or more of practice under her belt coz that's what it takes. NO CHILD DOES THAT AMOUNT OF PRACTICE NATURALLY AT THAT AGE.

Let me repeat that...

NO CHILD DOES THAT AMOUNT OF PRACTICE NATURALLY AT THAT AGE.

That's about 8 hours practice every day for five years. It's enforced labor on a minor and it's disgusting.
