Encourage Your Child Without Pressure

February 27, 2011 By Patrick Cohn

All sports parents want their children to succeed and play up to their potential. Parents get frustrated when they think kids do not perform up to their potential. As a sports parent, sometimes it is difficult to know how to encourage your kids to perform well. It’s hard to know when you may be applying too much pressure.

Kids look to their parents for approval, and can never get enough praise. Praise increase kids’ self-confidence and willingness to try different things. Balance your child’s other activities–such as school or music–with sports, and be sure your kids are playing for the right reasons. You want your kids to participate for the fun of the game rather than playing because they want to make you happy.
