There might be stories about the over - competitive parents. In 'Toddlers and Tiaras Horror Stories', some parents push their toddlers way too hard. They get overly obsessed with winning that they forget their child is just a toddler. For example, they force their kids to practice for hours on end, ignoring the fact that the child may be tired or just wants to play like any normal toddler. This can have a negative impact on the child's mental and physical health in the long run.
