When it comes to parents of youth sports, they can start out with the best intentions in mind, but can result in not finishing with the same intentions. Most fathers, as well as mothers, love to coach their children in most sports, especially if they played it growing up. Depending on what their purpose of coaching their child may be, could turn out to be a disaster. For instance, there are those fathers who are trying to “live through” their child. This could lead to the father or mother to put more pressure on their child and be on them the whole time.
Kids are highly influential especially at a young age. A child who sees a father abusing his mother might grow up and find it acceptable to beat on his own wife and kids, alas the cycle continues. Society also play a very big part in this, we now see and accept divorce and broken families as a new normal. Since many fathers generally are not the major caretakers of their kids after a divorce, bad feeling are formed with the kids. These negative feelings are due to dads not regularly seeing and interacting with their kids.
Introduction Many parents or adults try to push their dreams of being a professional athlete onto their children. In today’s society it is alleged that success is accomplished through hard work and dedication, but pushing one too far is not the way to achieve such success. The effects of pushing one into doing something can be very harmful and cause many problems throughout their lives. There are many negatives to over achieving and trying to make your child or members of the team the best out there. Pushing one too far can cause overuse injuries that can hinder their playing and lives.
Sometimes when parents’ divorce, kids may feel guilty and blame their selves for other things the rest of their lives. Physical or Emotional Neglect – When you have memories such as someone hitting you, or telling you that you are not good enough, you may think that and not value yourself ever again. Low Self-Esteem – Most people are insecure. But nowadays almost no one is confident, especially teenagers. Some kids never recover from low self-esteem and think they will never be good enough for anyone or
There is no known fact to answer this question because there have been many kids that have been abused physically, mentally, and sexually by his or her parents but they did not grow up to be serial killers. According to Joel Norris, he states that, “Parents who abuse their children, physically as well as psychology instill in them an almost instinctive reliance upon violence as a first resort to any challenge.” (Norris, 1989) In some cases parents believe that if they discipline their children it will make them tougher when they grow up. Often sometimes children don’t see that when they are being disciplined it makes a child start to lack love for their parents and it makes the child go out and do things like setting fires, misbehaving in school and the need to torture animals to release the anger they have built up inside of them from the hurt that their parents have called all because they wanted to discipline their child (Norris, 1989). When a child torture or kill an animal does that automatically mean that the child will grow up to become a serial killer? Or is it the only way a child can release all the hatred and angry that they are suppressing from being abused by their parents?
In result, lack of discipline from parents along with mimicking their friends’ attitudes toward one another exemplifies few factors that influences teen rudeness. Nowadays, a modern family would focus on their careers more than focusing on their family. As kids age 13 to 19 move from childhood to maturity, they often experiment with language to express their boundaries and talk back to parents in ways that are inappropriate. It then becomes the parents’ duty to instruct their children how to speak with respect to authorities. The problem arises when parents fail to teach their children the correct way of behaving toward adults.
How Sports Can Affect Children By Sharelle Britt Parents should be afraid of their children playing sports. There are many reasons why parents are afraid to let their children play sports. Contact sports such as basketball, football and boxing can lead to serious injuries. During my athletic days I have experienced many different injuries. As a parent, the thought of my kids wanting to play sports scares me.
Just remember no one said this was going to be easy, it’s not something that can be picked up quickly; it requires the balance of fun, cleverness, and skills. It’s always nerve-racking being a “first time” sitter, maybe you just haven’t had enough practice with your younger siblings or the idea of being responsible for someone else’s kids is overwhelming. Have no fear! Babysitting should be fun not scary; the only people you need to make a good impression on are the parents. They are looking for a straight edged, fun and responsible kid.
At the same time generation Y is also commonly worried about what individuals think about them and not about issues that their parents would worry about such as future planning. With technology being so hard to keep up with, material goods and entertainment become one of the struggles every teenager has when trying to fit in. This is when “technosis” becomes common within gen Y. They become over obsessed with being able to fit in that they forget their priorities and focus too much on what technology can bring them. When trying to compare the baby boomers to their children (Echo Boomers) we found that their values were very different from each other.
These shocking statistics show just how many parents are willing to push their kids to reach so called fame. Not realizing what they are doing to their child in the process. If athletes were paid closer to what most Americans make then the statistics for these child injuries and being overly pushed in sports would be much lower. Athletes
