Nine Ways to Balance Sports & Family life
(Top 10 Signs You're Too Wrapped Up In Your Kids' Sports) 10/06/11
10. You want to be an official of your child's sport becasue you think
you can make better calls than the other referees.
9. You have your child practicing every night at home until after dark.
8. You start talking about your games when you were a kid during your child's games.
7. You start calling players on other teams names and make calls or noises when they're trying to focus.
6. You start calling players on your child's team names or make calls or comments, hoping they'll mess
up and your child will get more playing time.
5. You coach your child's team and let your kid play more than others because you think he or she
is better than anyone else on the team.
4. You make your kid cry before, during or after a game by your actions or comments toward him or her.
3. Your child wants to quit playing and you want to keep coaching, telling him he's a quitter or a loser.
2. You encourage your child to play with an injury or illness, telling her she's a loser or weak if she doesn't.
1. You threaten your child, a player, another parent, coach or official with physical harm for any reason.
According to a survey of parents, 84% of them have seen violence in sports, and 45% kids report
that they have experienced comments and abuse of some sort. Parents want to saee their children succeed
and sometimes don't know the limits to their enthusiasm. As parents, we have to keep in mind that every
child on the playing field in any sport has dreams, hopes and emotions. Also children's greatest teachers
are not only their parents, but other adults around them. The question that we want to ask ourselves is,
"What do we want our children to learn from sports?" Skills acquisition? Confidence? Cooperation? Social
Skills? How to win and lose with class and dignity? Integrity? Honor? Or do we want them to learn, poor
sportmanship, aggression, complaining, cheating???
