""Are we supposed to go to every practice?""
""No.""
""Do not go to the practices and watch your children. This is their time.""
""That there is nothing that's going to encumber them from trying something new... taking a risk, making a mistake, trying something, being successful. Because what we're then doing is, we're externalizing all of our motivation.""
Parents are advised not to attend children's sports practices so practice time remains dedicated to free play, experimentation, and skill development. Parental presence can cause children to seek external approval and reduce willingness to take risks, which limits opportunities to learn from mistakes. Free play enables children to try new moves, experience both success and failure, and cultivate internal motivation and self-starting behavior. Playing multiple sports can be beneficial when time allows, though scheduling constraints may limit participation. Many caregivers and mental health professionals support stepping back, and some parents use practice time for their own activities while nearby.
