Last month I wrote about the need for more Positive Coaching by the educators in our sport.
Coaches obviously play a vital role in the development of a successful athlete. This month I will
try to address the other major, and the most influential, contributor to a child's development (peer
group being the third). This month we take on the double-edged sword of Parental Involvement...
Partners Not Problems
Keeping Parents off Your Back and on Your Side
Research has proven that children whose parents are involved in their education are more likely
to have higher academic achievement and better social skills than children whose parents are not
a part of their education. When teachers communicate and collaborate with the families of the
children they teach everyone benefits. This carries through to a child's athletic achievement as
well. A child whose parents are actively involved in their development and support their progress
will achieve more in less time.
When families are involved in the learning process, they have greater access to teachers and a
network of other parents and several positive things occur. Families:
· Develop a better understanding of policies and curriculum.
· Have more appropriate expectations for their child's development and better understand
their child's abilities and skills.
