Things We Love September 2025: Sports Parent Era!
“Where are my cleats?!” Ah, yes. September means fall sports for many parents. The kids can’t keep track of their game socks and they can never find their cleats for some reason. They will also turn teammates into bonus family members, compete with confidence and make memories to last a lifetime. Parents? Well, get ready to fill up lots of big water jugs, give lots of high fives (and wipe a few tears) and cheer on your little MVPs this season. Go Team!
Raising Empowered Athletes
Practice is an hour, and it usually runs late. Better grab a good book to read while waiting in the stands (or in the van). This book by Kirsten Jones relays insights on how to parent modern kids who play sports. With today’s youth athletic teams being ultra competitive, Jones, a former Division I athlete, has solutions on raising a child who is “happy, brave and resilient” both on and off the playing field.
