What are the seven best practices for parents when attending their child’s extra-curricular activities?

April 25, 2022 By Kate Vanderbaan

  1. Make sure your child is properly fed and hydrated before and after the game. Sleep is also important for the child so try to have similar bedtime schedules in both households.
  2. The child should be in the proper attire and have his/her gear.
  3. Have your child show up to the practice or game ON TIME. If you cannot provide transportation, make sure it is arranged in advance and in accordance with you parenting agreement. Often your agreement will require you to first ask the other parent if they are available before asking a third party. It is important to advise the other parent in writing as to the individual providing transportation. If there is a disagreement, then try to find an alternative or have the other parent recommend someone. If disputes remain on this issue, consult with your attorney as you may need the court to appoint someone in an order.
  4. Observe when appropriate. Be mindful as to your child’s needs and wishes. If your child has asked you not to yell out at the empire or coach for a bad call or advice, then please keep your comments to yourself. It would be better to save those for a conversation with your child after the game or event.
  5. Encourage the child to do their best providing confidence in the child. Refrain from placing demands on the child.
  6. If you know that conflict with the other parent may arise, sit apart.
  7. Avoid conflict. It is embarrassing for the child and you as an adult.
