Raising Young Athletes: Episode #26-Do with Other Parents
Episode #26: Do with Other Parentsof my Raising Young Athletes podcast is the second of five episodes in which I’m exploring the Dos and Don’ts of Sport Parenting, in other words, what sport parents should and shouldn’t do with themselves, other parents, coaches, and their children.
When you sign your children up for a sport, they’re not the only ones making a commitment. Instead, you also signing yourself up for a commitment of time, energy, and money. In doing so, you are joining a club of its own comprised of other sport parents. Aside from school, your children’s athletic lives can become the focal point of your family’s lives and a nexus of your own social world.
