One thing I have noticed as I watch my son's basketball π game: if parents do not know the rules to a sport, it can affect the child. So, if you do not know the rules to a particular sport...learn them.
It's not a demand.
It's a duty.
As a supporting parent, I refuse to enter a sport with aimless knowledge about the sport. I have an obligation to help my children to develop and perform to the best of their ability in their sport.
But, I get it.
If a parental unit does not understand a certain or sport or has never watched or played a particular sport, I can see how they may watch their child without knowing the ins and outs of the competition.
No worries.
A few gems:
- Assist your little boys ππΏ♂️and girls π§π».
- Show an interest in their development.
- Lead as that parent. The one who gives true feedback.
- Avoid engaging as that parent. The one who bashes, criticizes, and creates toxicity at a sporting event.
- Invite the family. We live in a technological time in which we can stream games, hold Zoom or Google Hangout meetings, or live stream games on IG Live; so everyone can enjoy young "Dana's" lacrosse π₯ match.
- Have fun. Always try to seek the fun aspect.
That's it.
