2. The role of parents in collective sports
Introduction
When speaking of the term sport, must take into account social actors
influencing any physical activity, whether sports technicians, colleagues or
parents / mothers. Moreover, if we talk of sport in children, these social
actors are especially important in your sport.
In our next post will talk about the role that one of the great figures of
children: their parents.
Parent Support
The family is an informal learning environment where children learn
spontaneously, surrounded by people, some own culture daily routines. The
family is emerging as a learning environment where parents / mothers for
their children structure a series of situations or activities. If the situations
created by parents / mothers include sporting context, there is no doubt that
the performance of these parents / mothers in the sporting situation where
your child is is important.
And numerous studies say that you have to eliminate the concept of the
father who goes to see his son to a game of handball and wants toinstruct
from the stands, unfortunately, this concept keeps coming up again and
again.
The father 's role is very important, as we said before, is the main figure in
which the child is to be fixed, because of its family educational
environment, therefore it must be aware of as sport plays a key role so
many social and health benefits.
3. Benefits of sport for the child
Sport is an activity practiced by mankind for many centuries; now say
governments and international organizations like Unesco, as one of the
ways we have to train, educate, encourage and enable growth in all its
forms.
During its first five years of life, the child spends much of his time playing
alone or at home with the people closest. Through these games you get the
pleasure it gives the movement, is preparing your body for increasingly
complex motor activities and also is related and knows himself and his
family.
When you start your school life and has made great progress in its
development, the sport appears as a new and different form of gambling
that requires exercise and hone the skills acquired in the safe space of your
home, interact with other children their age and conform to the standards
set by the game.
The true value of sport In addition to the many important benefits of the
sport, parents can highlight our children that the sport is performed first to
meet the basic need that humans have to move,
Which gives pleasure; because sport is practiced primarily by the pleasant
effect produced and this is their first motivation. Parents should not force
children to play sports, or pressure them to compete, to be better than
others in their performance, or exercised beyond their desire or ability to
get drinks, other awards, applause or perquisites, because this is they can
cause more harm than good and you get to make the sport into something
annoying and unpleasant for the child.
So, we have classified a series of benefits that we believe are very
important for the child:
1. Enter the child in society.
2. Teach you how to follow rules.
3. It helps to open up to others and overcome shyness .
4. Frena their excessive impulses.
5. Encourage the child's need to collaborate over individualism
4. 6. You will recognize, accept and respect someone who knows more than
he exists.
7. Produce a widespread increase in coordinated movement. 8
8. Increase your motor possibilities .
9. Promotes growth of bones and muscles.
10. You can correct any physical defects.
11. Power the creation and regulation of habits .
12. Develop your pleasure by movement and exercise.
13. Encourages hygiene and health .
14. It teaches you to have certain responsibilities .
Different types of parents
1. Parents coaches band. They are those who understand or believe
understand the sport practiced his son, so make frequent suggestions to
athletes, which may contradict the coach and create disruption in the
internal structure.
2. Parents overly critical. They are those who are never satisfied with the
performance of his son. Usually they are rebuking and scolding,
focusing on sport as something more than his own son. They often have
unrealistic expectations and objectives regarding sport progression of their
children.
3. Vociferous parents. They usually placed so close to the players and act
screaming and insulting players, referees and even players from their own
team. In short are those who can not hold in the stands and continuously
express their thoughts aloud, screaming and talking to anyone the field.
4. Overprotective parents. They refer to those with an exaggerated concern
about the risks of their sport their children.
5. Parents disinterested. Fundamentally characterized by not recognizing the
value that sport has in the education of the young. They are characterized
by not accompany or attend training and competitions of their children. In
short, they do not care about the development of the sport.
5. Roles of parents in child sport initiation
1. Help your children to decide how sport. Parents are, in most cases, those
who know their children best. Why they should advise on the choice of
sport and the degree of involvement. This choice should be based on the
preferences of the children, and the role of parents to aid in analyzing the
advantages and disadvantages of different options.
2. Assist in the choice of sport from two basic principles: every child is
important, each child is essential in this regard is important that parents
help choosing the sport of their children taking into account characteristics
of the child as their condition. physical, self - esteem or confidence. One
must also consider the characteristics of sport since the requirements are
not the same in a recreational sport in one of competition. They are neither
one individually against one team. Parents should also keep in mind the
quality of sports coaches and trainers, and organizational aspects of the
entity as schedules, economic cost, materials, etc.
3. Facilitate sports participation and the choice of a club. One of the most
important roles of parents has to do with the choice of club or organization
in which the child will practice their sport. It is important to confirm that
monitors and coaches apply the fundamental principles of educational
psychology training for young people, as well as being technically
prepared. In this sense, the conception of the competition will have an
aspect that should carefully evaluate.
4. Show interest in sports activities of the children. Communication with
children, are athletes or not, it is one of the basic pillars of education. To
listen and be available when the children need some advice is one of crucial
to help a child athlete aspects. In his sporting life he will be times when
you feel heard and supported by their parents will facilitate the acceptance
of the results.
5. Ensure that children play sports in a healthy way. As we have seen when
we talk about sports participation motives and causes of abandonment is
essential that sport and sport develop in a fun atmosphere and emphasis is
put on the effort to do it best.
6. Assist in logistical tasks school or sports club. The participation of
children requires significant organizational efforts. It is therefore essential
involvement of parents in support tasks clubs, being in charge of economic,
logistical or other entities regarding issues.
6. Conclusion
We live in a society in which the father 's role is very important not only in
the sporting life of the child, but in life in general. Therefore, this paper
should be key in educating the child as much as personal mirror and the
time when the child wants to play sports.
We know that on many occasions, it is inevitable for the parent to get the
competitive edge that we all have, but it has to be as controlled aspossible
and show the child that what matters in sport is not to win but it has great
benefits that are most important to win.
In addition, we have determined above stereotypes must be eliminated, and
go see our child fun.
We have also set important guidelines to follow to show our son what is
truly important.
Finally, conclude by saying that sport is a lifestyle very positive for our
child, who must never force you to do it , but if they lead to, with easy
guidelines to understand and provide us while our child is happy as us We
show them that they are also.
