Imagine the following situation...
Your child is ahead of the last ball of an important match. It's like time has stopped and you feel the weight of this moment for him. How much hard work, money and hours in training is behind it. Suddenly the child looks at the sky and says: “Hey, stork...” You think, “That's kidding, isn't it?!” You feel like they're laughing in your eyes and not appreciating anything at all.
Have you experienced anything like this on your own? How did you feel at that moment?
As a parent, you are not a coach — you are an indispensable support for him. The child should know that it is accepted in any situation, be it losses, spoiled passages of play or momentary inattention.
What can you do as a parent for a child?
- To give the child a constant feeling of security, love and unconditional acceptance.
- If the child is not doing well, then calm down and show gratitude for the fact that he is healthy and can do sports that he enjoys.
- Encourage in the child the attitude of “warrior” instead of “victim”. Take loss and failure as an opportunity to become even better.
- Learning to name “what I feel” and communicate it in an appropriate form to your child.
- Teach the child to separate time for sports and time for fun.
