Parenting a Competitive Kid
Living in the Gray by April Capochino Myers
Episode notes
Sports are an empty vessel. We assign values to them, sometimes positive, sometimes negative.
It's important not to put your kids' value in winning or losing. And their success or failure is not a reflection of you as a parent.
And it's important how you show up -- you might think you're being supportive, coming from a good place, but that might now be how it's received. Think about asking your kid how they want you to show up for them. You might be surprised.
If you heard yourself in today’s episode, you’re not alone.
My book, Living in the Gray gathers ten years of writing about living inside life’s tensions — the both/and moments that shape who we become. It’s a deeper look at the questions behind these conversations.
