Get your child involved in team sports. There are lots of options for all kids in school. Let your child try different sports this year, if last year’s sport wasn’t a good fit.

The lessons of teamwork are important, and so is the regular discipline of practice, drills, and playing the sport! Even sports that sound like individual efforts like cross-country running, tennis, golf, skiing, and track all have team components.

Volunteer as an assistant coach, or be the team parent who organizes healthy snacks. And be sure to show up for all the games.
