Parental feedback, support and behaviour all play a vital role in a child's enjoyment and experience of sport. This useful guidance for parents (PDF) provides tips for how to support and encourage your child and become positively involved in their sporting experience.
The guidance focuses on 3 key points:
1. communication around shared goals
2. showing interest around your child's experiences and emotions
3. taking an individual approach to supporting your child
