[quote=Anonymous]You can develop resilience and grit through things other than sports, and not all kids who do sports develop grit and resilience. There is no magic bullet that will make your kid more resilient and harder worker -- you have to parent through it, know your kid, adjust to new information, etc. Raising kids can be hard, this is one reason why.

It's weird to look at someone who has suicidal ideation and say "you need to be more resilient." It's just odd, as well as callous. Maybe look inward.

While everyone's parenting journey is different, I have found that my kid responds very well to be supported by her family. She is more resilient at school when we are a safe place for her to land -- she has more "grit" and determination out in the world if we don't force her to have it just to function in our family. It's like our unconditional love and acceptance of her mistakes and faults serve as a little talisman out in the world, so she can figure things out deal with adversity. She knows at the end of the day she will return home to a place where she is loved and accepted. Just my two cents.

The sports question is sort of beside the point.[/quote]
