The Science of Motivating Young People w/ Dr. David Yeager
Raising Good Humans
Listen to the Reasons, Weigh the Responses
Understanding a child's emotional response to challenges in sports requires discernment between genuine feelings and excuses. It's essential to differentiate between moments of discomfort where a child may not want to practice but still loves the sport, and when a child genuinely dislikes it. Authoritarian approaches dismiss any hesitation as weakness, while permissive ones might validate all complaints. Effective parenting or coaching involves being attentive to the child's reasons for reluctance, rather than simply categorizing them as valid or invalid. Honest self-reflection on one's own motivations is also critical in supporting a child's growth while balancing comfort and challenge.
