SPORTY PARENTS with Wayne Goldsmith
Sporting Parent? Chances are at some time in your life, you’ll be one.
Learn how to be the best sporting parent you can with professional leadership, coach, mentor and sports commentator Wayne Goldsmith at Sporty Parents evening on Wednesday, March 12th, from 6.30 p.m - 8.00 p.m . at Ōtūmoetai College, Tauranga.
Most sporty parents think that doing more things for their kids, e.g. packing their bags, making their lunches, setting their alarms, cleaning their sports gear, is great parenting.
In fact, it’s the exact opposite of what we would like you to do as a sporting parent.
Some of the things that you really need to develop in your children are things like :
the independence for them to choose to do things for themselves;
the importance of accepting responsibility for the things that they do and don’t do;
the ability to accept accountability for those decisions they make and don’t make.
By doing more for them, you’re impacting on their confidence. Because – Confidence comes from knowing, and knowing comes from doing.
The more your child can do, the more they know and the more confident they become. Let them do more. Let them do all the little things, stop doing it for them so that they can do more, they learn more, they grow and they develop their confidence.
During the workshop, some of the things we'll discuss are Waves and Rocks, Identity and Sport and ...
