Pressured Children
Idealistically no child at all should be pressured into playing sports. Now and days there are many parents that make their children play sports just because of the simple fact that they are a sports family or they feel they should be athletic in some sort of way. With that being said parents keep a close eye on their children because as mentioned before they force or make them feel as though they should or have
to play sports.
Pressured children at times can also lead to children that don’t exactly do as they should. This is being focused on school and things that will lead them to their future. Sports are meant to be things for children to enjoy as a hobby or to play once and a while, or possibly even for a league or season at their school for a certain amount of time. They should never be forced into playing the sport or feel that, that is all they should be doing. Pressuring children in thought can sometimes lead them in the wrong direction. And that direction is to not take school as seriously as they should. They begin not to take it seriously because they soon see that sports are more important and they
learn to only have a development in that opposed to being focused on school. They also could possibly not be obeying their parents as much as they should be, or lastly just overall not caring. It comes to this point because children find sports as a key and as a way to get away from what they are asked of from their parents, and that is not okay.
At such a young age no child should be pressured into playing sports. They are their own person and should have the right to play a sport when it is they feel ready to or that they should. The pressure children feel at such a young age to play sports really just pushes them into finding everything as a challenge or a competition. When they think of things as a challenge or a competition then that is when they begin to take things to a whole new level; that level being that they need to do all that their parents say. At that moment, their parents have control of them. That is not at all a good thing, especially when the parent is a sports parent and like for their child to nothing other than sports.
Between the ages of five and eighteen there is a total of about 35 million children who play organized sports each year. Also there is a
percentage of 60% of kids who play sports outside if school, 66% of boys play organized sports, and 52% of girls as well play organized sports. Based off of these statistics I can see that sports do have an impact on children and for that their parents become involved and push them to do more. Parents should not push them but be a guide and show them that it’s all about the fun and not so much about the competition. So they need to show them the development that sports have, but also show them that sports are for fun and not something that should be abused; in a way as it should be limited.
Children are meant to have a childhood and sports should not be the only thing that they are involved in. They should do other things like join clubs, join after school activities, or community service. They should be open to do other things and realize that there are more interesting things out there other than sports. They need to see that they can to have a life outside of sports and that in a way those other things can in fact help them. Most sports fanatics would not be fond of this but they should be put into a different environment or see from a different point just how interesting other things can be.
