Embracing Your Season: Raising Littles and Understanding Teens with Paige Clingenpeel

On this week’s episode of Embracing Your Season, Producer Mike Segovia joins Paige Clingenpeel on the show, to discuss the topic of increased conflict at youth sporting events. The increase of anger and conflict is growing in this day and age and virtually everything is being recorded and uploaded to social media. Listen as they keep it real and share their life stories and actions at their kids' sporting events.

Takeaways:

Tips for Parent Anger at Sporting Event:

1. Have a conversation with yourself about your values and what matters the most. These questions set the expectations for our behavior. Represent your family and Jesus by being calm and respectful in difficult moments where it is easy to show frustration and anger.
2. Recognize and know what triggers you or sets you off. Be mindful of your environment, take deep breaths, and communicate to your spouse or friends that you need a break, a walk, etc.
3. Address the thoughts you are having before speaking them. Our kids are watching us and we need to be good examples to them and those around us by practicing self-control.
4. Pray it out! Prayer can change things so be mindful by letting Jesus into our experiences.

Helping Kids Process Emotions in Sports:

1. The way they are coached has an impact on how they react or respond to disappointments.
2. Learn to be teachable and grow, especially when making mistakes or feeling like they have failed.
3. There’s a sense of injustice sometimes in sports. Build resilience in experiencing injustice because these things happen in life.
4. Believe the best in everyone.

Paige’s Positivity:

1. My own worth is not equated by my performance.
2. Building a community of people who are like-minded can make a huge difference in your life.
