RAISING THEM WELL: Away Game with Ed Uszynski (From the Archives)

We're in our summer series, 'Raising Them Well'. And you may be in the thick of getting all your kids' fall activities and sports on calendar. But what if it's time to look at all that through a fresh lens? Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3S6THOU Takeaways: The youth sports landscape has dramatically changed over the years. Parents often feel overwhelmed by the demands of youth sports. The shift from play to performance has led to a more competitive environment. Parental identity can become intertwined with children's performance. The youth sports industry is a multi-billion dollar complex. Many parents feel pressured to ensure their children succeed in sports. Character development is as important as athletic performance. Most kids quit sports by their teenage years due to pressure. The lessons learned in sports can impact life beyond the field. Parents should focus on their children's growth rather than just performance. Discipleship in parenting is crucial for guiding children. Character development should be prioritized over performance in sports. Parents should expect more from youth sports experiences. It's important to model faith and community involvement for children. Coaches may not always have the best interests of families in mind. Parents can and should make choices about their children's activities. It's okay to leave a sports team if it's not a good fit. Youth sports should be fun and not a source of stress. Families should communicate and pray together about sports commitments. There are resources available to help parents navigate youth sports. Sound Bites: "We need help." "This is to enhance our kids' lives." "Where do you think that comes from?" "The clock is ticking." "We should expect more for our dollar." "I really am my child's primary discipler." "You can fire the coach."

Reading pro

I have been listening to this podcast for awhile now. I have a variety of podcasts in my library. I choose the All Mom Does podcast when I want to be inspired or comforted. Ms. Carr addresses issues I face as a mother of three that span a decade in their ages. I check out the show notes and find myself moving in a positive parenting direction after listening. This week I am checking out medical school consultants because of Ms. Carr’s interview with Jeanie Burlowski about paying for college and admissions. I was exposed to new thinking and material and that is always a good use of time and an attractive podcast especially for a busy mom.
