Remember to support your kids in sports

By Vicki at 12/19/08 12:56

Sports are a good way for kids to do many things. They are able to socialize and be part of a team, not just go it alone.

Encouraging kids to play sports goes beyond just the initial signing up for the team. You must stand firm once they decide to participate. Once they commit, you must make them commit ALL the time, not just when they feel like it.

There are many benefits to sports, not the least of which is good, hard physical activity. Their cardio systems will benefit as will their muscle tone.

We have many sports opportunities in Oil City. Encourage your kids to play a sport and then back them up by attending games and asking questions. Cheer them on and reward them with praise when they put forth the effort.
