Managing stress and anxiety will help your young rider to really enjoy the sport and overcoming the negative impact of this will make a marked difference to both parent and riders relationship at events.

"Remember that your child is an individual and no one else will have exactly the same sporting journey; avoid comparing to others and instead focus on your own child’s progress and improvements." Learn more #sportsparents tips from @cjknight: https://t.co/1EyPRWGG6I #pisw

@paulbamsey Wow, that is amazing! Thank-you for making such a great commitment to helping your and other children participate and progress in sport! Parent-coaches play such important roles in youth sport - really wouldn’t be possible without you.

In this #podcast from #ActiveForLife, @cjknight and @MonetteRichard talk about the important role that #sportsparents play in their children's involvement in sport: https://t.co/xzCJcmJlUr #pisw

It can sometimes seem daunting as a parent when you introduce your children to sport - especially as time & financial commitments increase. But, seeing children have fun, make friends & develop skills help make it all worth it! #ParentsinSportWeek2018

[SportParentEU @SportParentEU]

The more coaches & clubs can communicate with parents to help them understand their child’s sport and experience, the easier it is for children/athletes. Remember, not all parents have experience of sport, so they are often learning on the job! #ParentsinSportsWeek2018
