[quote=Anonymous]As a parent with children who have experienced family tragedy, the seriousness assigned to kid’s sporting events and the associated politics are mind boggling. While I admit I was once enraptured with the excitement of games and teams, it has quickly become something I view as trivial and petty. People become so consumed by their children’s sporting “careers” even as elementary and middle schoolers that they become unable to see the larger picture. The larger picture includes sports as a healthy physical and social outlet for kids who are facing tremendous loss, stress and sadness. It can also be such an outlet for a kid who is simply shy or struggling socially. Be a voice of reason and compassion and advocate for a girl who is suffering—model thoughtfulness and compassion for your own child and the adults as well.[/quote]
