I hope this is not a disturbing trend: parents who know very little about skating, who can't skate themselves, and are trying to teach their little kid how to figure skate. Mama Leung is a prime example, but I have seen this situation recently at at local arena. What are parents thinking? I don't think teaching your kid how to figure skate when you have very little knowledge is a smart way of supporting your kid because of the detrimental effect of the kid's skating especially long term. I think overenthusiastic parents are more wise to send their kid to a well qualified professional.
I hope that parents are not looking at Mama Leung thinking, okay, it worked with Mira so this is what I have to do to make my daughter a champion.
