'Childhood is meant to be carefree and fun, after all.'
, parents white-knuckled. It makes me worry about the kids. I watch as one kid throws up a free throw and misses, hanging his head in defeat. Soon after, a kid on the other team missed a fast break layup, bringing him instantly to tears. God, I didn’t think it would all feel so competitive and pressure-filled so soon.
Today, elementary-aged kids are specializing in certain sports and practicing year round. They dedicate free time to skill building and prepare for tryouts with club and elite teams. And while I firmly believe that this is mostly driven by the parents, it still requires the child’s buy-in. Even if my husband and I were all in, my son still wouldn’t have the drive to commit to any sport at this age. And he simply is not super motivated by competition.
