Having kids has been such a joy. I brought them into the world without any expectations for sports and activities that they should do. I let them be themselves and adventure in what they want to do. Let me just say how proud I am of them. Their activities and sports that they have chosen on their own is such a joy to be able to watch. I played junior high basketball for two years and had a blast. I never made any points, but I had a blast. My son LOVES basketball and will be playing in a week and a half for his 7th grade school. My daughter, just signed up to do skills and drills basketball and is loving it. She stated today that it is getting easier. I feel as if I am reliving my childhood through them. I just sit back and watch, and give them comforting words if things go wrong, and of course all sorts of praise when they do well. I never will critique my children or talk down to them. I always tell them how proud I am of them for giving it their best effort. I have to admit, for both of my children to want to play basketball I am doing the Jig inside =)
Whether or not your kids are athletic or book worms, cheer them on and be proud of all that they do.
Until Laterz,
