Strongest Child in the World

I have just watched a documentary show about the Strongest Child in the world. They featured some children in America and Romania who were being trained at an early age. The children (both girls and boys) were just 3 years old and above, who were trained so hard, mostly by their father. They had been in various competitions in lifting weights, which seemed really heavy for their age.

 

I wondered why their parents allowed them to do that. For me, I would never let my child to be in weight-lifting workouts, not even if she's old enough.

Those children should be playing or enjoying their younger days. I felt terribly worried about the negative effects of lifting weights to their body. It could affect their growth and damage their bones or even kill themselves if they do that incorrectly.

Some parents said that it was their way of building their children's self-esteem and wanted their kid to be a World Record Holder and be in the Olympics. But still, for me, these behaviors were still not normal.

As a parent, would you also let your kids lift heavy weights?
