This is a little booklet to help you stay out
of your children's athletic way. The author,
Dan Saferstein, Ph.D., wrote it with two assumptions:
a) parents love their children; b) parents don't
always love their children in ways that are
helpful to them. We sometimes make mistakes
in the stands or in the car ride home, just
as our children make mistakes on the field.
These mistakes are a part of the learning process
for everyone, including psychologists. Young
athletes run into problems when they think they
can get by with a half-hearted effort, and so
do parents.
What
does a whole-hearted effort mean as a sports
parent? Mr. Safertein doesn't think it necessarily
means spending more money on private instruction
or cheering louder from the sidelines, but it
could mean paying more attention to how your
behavior is affecting your child's athletic
experience and less attention to the wins and
losses.
When
you think about it, the most important scoreboard
in youth sports is never the one on the field;
it is the one in your child's eyes as you are
driving home from the game."
