If your preventing problems, sometimes your really not helping!

Parents I have seen three times in one year kids have panic attacks on the volleyball court when things were not going well in their performance. I also know these kids and they have helicopter parents who try to prevent there kid from having to deal with anything. I have also found that kids have a crushing paralysis when I comes to dealing with the challenges in their own skills or strategies. Most don't want to here what they need to do to improve and they don't want to figure out the corrections with guidance. They want to be told they are great, get a little advice so long as it doesn't tell them the real negatives, and then they expect a quick fix. Kids need to be taught to apply them selves despite adversity and that any thing worth having is not easily earned. Here is a great article to articulate what a problem this has become.
