PARENTS: The "Car Ride Home" has caused MANY Kids to Quit Team Sports. How you talk to your child matters. Here are the 5 Phrases that you should ever need to say to your child. 1: “I LOVE WATCHING YOU PLAY" If you had to pick one statement to say to your child, this is it! There is no judgment or criticism. You are just letting your son or daughter know that you are a fan and that you love watching them play and compete. Nothing else is needed. 2: “I BELIEVE IN YOU” Do you want to build confidence in your child? Tell them you believe in them. They need to hear this from adults. One of the most important things we can do as parents is instill confidence in our kids. It is hard enough being a kid in today's world. This is a powerful phrase to use. 3: "DO YOUR BEST" We are all different. We all have different skill sets. All we can ever do is our best. This is the one thing my parents always said to me. Teach your child to pass the "mirror test." If they can look in the mirror and tell themselves that they genuinely did their very best, then that is all we can ever ask of ourselves. 4: "NEXT PLAY" This is a move-on mindset. Don't dwell on a mistake and make another. Don’t celebrate after a great play so much that you lose your focus. This teaches kids about composure and poise. It teaches them to remain in the present, not dwell on the past, and not look too far ahead. It is a great life lesson. 5: "BE A GREAT TEAMMATE" This is such an important life skill. Great teams are made up of great teammates. Being a great teammate is something that we can all control. Our world needs great teammates. Encourage your son or daughter to be a great teammate for their team. It is a lesson that will last a lifetime! That's It! The Only 5 Phrases Kids Need to Hear.
