Subject: Do teachers / parents have more understanding of kids crying e pressing emotion and disappointment at results?

Personally I’m ok with my kid crying, showing disappointment or distain - especially if she has been cheated out of a result.
I won’t force her to put on a fake smile and pretend like she’s not bothered for awards.
Why should she hide her emotions just to make others feel less uncomfortable.
Is it because you all then have to confront your own morals and complicity.
Judges should one hundred percent be present for all of the award ceremonies. They also shouldn’t miss out on the affects their cheating has

  - Your child is not responsible for other children’s feelings (NT) -- She shouldn’t suppress her feelings to spare others - unhealthy, 5/11/24 17:56:35, Tue
- Love this comment. Finally someone with abit of sense to know these are children. (NT) -- I would never tell my child to hide her feeling to suit other people., 5/11/24 17:58:51, Tue
Some kids literally can not hid their emotions, and why should you . (NT) -- Disappointment is a very reasonable emotion to express. Can’t all be heartless actors!, 5/11/24 16:20:36, Tue
This is a valid point IF its acceptable for every dancer. A few dancers have constantly been bullied on the forum over the last couple of years for not smiling during results. (NT) -- The problem is that people will still criticise those dancers they don't think deserve to cry., 5/11/24 18:29:02, Tue
- Yeah that’s the sad part, we need to remember no matter their age they are children. (NT) -- Teaching them to hide their emotions will only lead to mental health as they grow up., 5/11/24 18:38:21, Tue
