What I Learned About Parenting from Watching Football
- Anyone
on the team can recover a fumble.
Although I am the primary caretaker in our household, I have
learned that anyone in the family can help to turn a situation
around. Whether it’s an older
sibling helping a younger one with a school problem or my husband averting
a meltdown by providing a change of scenery, I can call upon others in the
family to assist when needed.
- Know
when to punt and know when to go for it.
Sometimes it is better to cut your losses and leave that birthday
party, that grocery store trip, or that family obligation early. But sometimes it is really important to
be there, and so you take your chances with a tired or irritable kid…and
those times it tends to work out okay.
- Occasionally,
the play needs a review. We can
all benefit from learning how to do better.
