The Sports Parenting Experience with Shari Medini

"They need someone outside of their sport to talk to about it. I never want my kids to feel like if they had a bad practice that I'm also going to be mad that they had a bad practice. How can we be that support? We should be their biggest advocate, but that does not mean that we're marching onto the fields demanding more playing time or more personal attention. That's a different kind of thing. We need to be making sure that holistically they're doing ok as a human being. That's the most important job that we have." - Shari Medini Shari Medini is the co-author of Parenting While Working from Home: A Monthly Guide to Help Parents Balance Their Careers, Connect with Their Kids, and Establish Their Inner Strength and the co-owner of AdoreThemParenting.com.
