But one hotly debated discussion focuses on the kinds of sports kids should play,with parents mistakenly thinking,"Lizzie is so quiet,we should let her join in basketball and soccer to try to get her to open up."But increasingly,experts are suggesting the healthier instinct (直觉) might be,"Lizzie is so quiet.Maybe we should sec if she likes playing with a big team like softball or if she likes ballet or swimming,where she can work more on her own terms."
"Participation in any sport is going to provide kids with life skills----the ability to focus and to concentrate,the ability to handle pressure in tough situations,the ability to stay calm when things aren't going just right,''explains Orlando-based youth sports psychology expert Patrick Cohn.Those lessons will carry over into future,non-sports attempts.
Team sports certainly offer benefits not as easily obtained via individual activities,as players leant how to communicate and work with others,and there's the potential to develop leadership abilities.Team sports also help kids develop their social identity.Our sense of worth is developed through what we achieve and a sense of belonging.
Individual sports offer unique advantages,too,like developing a child's sense of independence."Hero,you don't depend upon teammates,"says Cohn."You take full responsibility,whether you do well or perform poorly."Many of Cohn's young clients complain about pressure from team mates or coaches to make zero mistakes or carry more of the team than they may want to; these kids may enjoy a solo sport like tennis or gymnastics.
Individual activities keep kids away from comparing themselves to the best players on the team,a habit that does little to help confidence levels.Instead,it encourages them to compare their skills to their own past performances.With individual sports like swimming or track,it's easier for the child to participate on his own,at his leisure(闲暇),without having to round up a bunch of like-minded peers.
Above all,while some children enjoy the excitement of competition,others are more likely to benefit from the freedom of individual sports,and finding the right balance can be necessary for children's enjoyment.What parents think is encouragement,children often consider as pressure.So try to understand what they want from sports.
