Re: “Running club good for a girl’s soul,” Dec. 18.
I am writing in utter disbelief that any parent can believe that spending $295 (plus taxes) for eight trail-running sessions for their 8 to 12-year-old daughters is empowering anyone other than the organizer’s bank account.
Parent, empower yourselves! Stop believing that other people know better than you how to raise a confident, happy, healthy daughter.
Get off the couch, help your daughter plan a simple route through your local park or the woods, gather some of her friends (and their parents), and then go have a fun run/walk together — everyone benefits and it’s free! Exploring the outdoors together is a wonderfully simple way for you and your daughter to build your own confident, happy, healthy family.
