<br/><br/> "Today [2005], psychologists and coaches agree that many parents have become more passionate--obsessed, in some cases--about their children's athletic pursuits than mothers and fathers of the past. Micromanaging a child's sports career and agonizing over his or her success on the playing field may be the most public expression of the so-called 'helicopter parent' phenomenon; that is, the tendency of today's moms and dads to 'hover' over their children." (LOS ANGELES TIMES) This article examines the reasons why so many parents become "too emotionally invested in their children's athletic careers" and provides some guidelines for how parents should behave on the sidelines.
