Saying the right thing at the right time is a valuable skill for any parent, and it isn’t always easy. Every week brings plenty of chances to talk to our children about their sport: at home, in the car or around the dinner table.
The questions we ask really matter. They play a big part in our children’s development and help them take ownership of their own sporting journey.
The infographic above looks at the kinds of questions we can ask, and gives some practical ideas to try over the coming weeks and months.
It isn’t a definitive list. Asking great questions takes practice, and it’s about finding what works for you and your child, including the best moments to ask. Every parent and child is different, so try these out, see what works, and use them as a starting point for your own list.
