Episode 56: World Cup Snowplow Parenting

Season 4 starts NOW! 

Susie and I are so excited to be back together. This is our first episode with Susie and I talking about snowplow parenting reaching the highest level in sport- USA Soccer and the World Cup. While we don't know all the details of the scandal, what we do know is it's happening too often down at the high school and even middle school level- so that's where we focused today. We got into some tools to help parents help themselves. How to avoid taking over the sports experience for your child and just let them play and have fun. What is the difference between empathy and sympathy and what our role as parents is in supporting our kids.
