The Importance of Being a Fan of Your Kid
Your role as a dad is to be a fan of your child, regardless of their interests or talents. Just as Jim Valvano's father supported his son's unlikely dream of winning an NCAA championship, you must believe in your child's aspirations, even if they seem unrealistic. On the other hand, if your child excels at something and has the potential to go pro, it is still your job to be their fan. Instead of criticizing or pushing them too hard, they need your support and encouragement. Being a fan means being someone who loves and roots for them, without being overbearing or controlling.
