With little league season upon us, and all the many other sports that kids play year round, I think a lot about what I tell my kids as I encourage them to participate in different sports. Sports offer the opportunity to learn to exercise for our health, learn discipline and the value of hard work–along with other life lessons. Personally, I think a lot about how I parent my kids (including their participation in sports, music, etc.) will affect their self-image and their future. I came across this article that some of you may find interesting: What Parents Should Say as their Kids Perform.
