doesn’ t. All of my kids have different abilities, talents and dreams and it’ s my job to support them in achieving their goals so that they can do their best. They’ ve each faced their fair-share of disappointment, however they’ ve also experienced life-changing wins. I understand how challenging it can be and as a result I’ m well equipped to deal with the highs and lows.
The main challenge that parent’ s face is getting their kids to understand that if they lose a game, it’ s not the end of the world. We need to help them manage their expectations to avoid unnecessary disappointment. If parents don’ t handle this well, it can have catastrophic consequences. My motto is“ we never lose, we only learn”.
One of the problems that I see time and time again, is parents not listening to their kids. In order to communicate with your child more efficiently, you need to listen more effectively. Don’ t just hear them, actively listen and reply as though you’ ve heard them. How you respond will depend on how well you’ ve listened.
We’ re all guilty of not listening properly; life is so busy and sometimes we’ re not always present. I set aside five or ten minutes per day to have a private one-on-one chat with my boys so that they can tell me all their woes and have mummy’ s undivided attention. The boys know they can chat to me about anything and this is their time to talk and my time to listen. This simple strategy has worked wonders.
My services are not just limited to parents with children in sport; I’ ve also helped mums who struggle with their own confidence and anxiety issues, business women who are holding themselves back from achieving their goals, and women who generally feel stuck-in-a-rut.
