145: Encore: My Kids Lose it When They Make Sports Mistakes. How Can I Help?
Podcast: Ask Lisa: The Psychology of ParentingPublished On: Tue Nov 21 2023
Description: Sports is not just about the final score. It’s an opportunity for kids to grow, to learn how to improve their skills, and to be a good teammate. But athletics today can be incredibly competitive, aggressive, and emotionally intense. Dr. Lisa offers strategies for when kids lose their cool when things don’t go their way and explains how to help kids manage their reactions when they make mistakes. Reena asks about how far you should push a kid who wants to quit a sport they’re good at and if we should encourage kids to stick with sports that don’t come naturally.
