Since Fall has rolled around and school has started it is time for fall sports to start! If your kids are in high school or middle school I am sure most of them started their sport in the summer. But, what about the little ones? There are so many sports to choose from. How do you help them choose the right one? It's simple.....Have them choose the one they have the most fun doing! Sometimes parents can get caught up in the moment and have their kids enrolled in 5 different things at one time and can get lost in the game.
Here are some other tips that can help you have a successful sports season. Remember, you are the one that has to drive the kids to everything. So, if you want an easy season here are some suggestions...
1. Have your child pick 1 sport for each season. If they want more to do have them enroll in a different after school activity. i.e. An art class, tutoring or a book club
2. Create a carpool with other families in your neighborhood. This will help with gas expenses and won't tie down your free time with every practice that rolls around.
3. Make each game fun for your kid! Even if they lose let them know how great they did and remind them to just have fun. They can become more serious about a sport when you start paying more for the sport and when they get older.
4. Choose a team or a sport that won't have you all over the place. If you can find a sport or activity that takes place down the road. That is the one you want to choose!
Remember to have fun with your kids this fall and every other sports season! If you need ideas for what sports to choose stop by kidshealth.org.
