"My 9-year-old daughter was glued to the TV and YouTube over the weekend. She is a gymnast and loves watching the Olympics and Simone Biles. Our daughter says her goal is to one day be an Olympian. As parents, we know the odds are not in her favor. Plus it's an expensive sport that we continue to funnel money into because our daughter loves it. My husband says at some point we need to be honest with her and tell her that she is not talented enough to be an Olympian. He says we'll also save money. I don't think we should crush our daughter's dreams. My husband says she hasn't won any tournaments and will lose her self-esteem and self-confidence if she keeps losing. We are torn about what to do. What would you do if you were us? Should we tell our daughter the truth or continue to support her?"
