YOUR EMOTIONS ARE NOT
YOUR CHILD'S EMOTIONS.
As a parent, you experience victories, defeats, expectations
and disappointments alongside your young athlete.
But your child's emotions may be very different from yours.
Learning to recognize this difference can help you respond with greater awareness, reduce unnecessary pressure and strengthen your relationship.
RECOGNIZE YOUR EMOTIONS. RESPECT THEIRS.
REAL-LIFE EMOTIONAL SITUATIONS

WHEN MY CHILD'S FRUSTRATION TRIGGERS MINE
When your child's anger, tears or behavior causes you to react emotionally.
