176 How To Help Enhance The Psychological Wellbeing Of Children In Sport #BITESIZE
In today’s episode, I share a short yet very important extract from episode 122, where Professor Camilla Knight chats to me about the wellbeing of sporting children, communication between children and parents, parental stressors, as well as touching on self-care as a parent.
Key Learning Points
- The sporting environment will naturally shape the thoughts, feelings and behaviours of children.
- Understanding what your child's typical behaviours are, is really important to be aware of, as you can then start to notice when their behaviours start to change.
- Regular conversations with children are key, understanding your child as an individual whilst not getting drawn into comparing them to others.
- An exclusive athletic identity too early for children can be detrimental.
- Parents have to deal with their own time and financial stressors which isn’t easy for some.
- It’s vital to recognise that the parent-child relationship is a relationship and that it is bi-directional.
