@littlefoxtoks: “thats unheard of” “i cant believe she just started”. i am proud. she is driving herself right now. i was never actually really good at anything, my mom just has grandious ideas for every child in her life. but ive been a bit apprehensive to acknowledge just how good aliza has become. beacuse i dont know how properly support her. i dont want her feeling like i felt. #greenscreenvideo
You tell her she can do anything she WANTS to put her mind and effort behind but that she is not beholden to her gifts and that just because you are good at something doesn’t mean you have to do it.

Perhaps tell her she's worked really hard at skating and that she can do anything she puts her mind to? It is complimentary and emphasizes the effort she is putting in without pressure

let her love it with all her heart. when she needs you to show up - show up HARD and show up LOUD. when she feels discouraged hold her and tell her it’s ok if she doesn’t like it anymore (1/2)

You could acknowledge her hard work. I would also suggest letting her have a break (for a season or not go to a practice or something) if she seems to need one or asks for one.

Tell her! When I was a kid, people pushed me too hard and it made me not want to do it anymore. It scares me to tell you how great/amazing/talented you are, bc I don’t want you to feel pressured

Maybe ask her how she wants to be supported- she might have insight into what she’s wanting. You can both support and acknowledge someone & hold that they can stop at any point without fear of anger.

Go to her games! Be her #1 fan! Make silly little signs and show up with your whole family supporting her! Tell her you believe in her and show interest in her sport, and that will go a long way!

let her take breaks when she needs to, and don’t compare her to her peers - keep her passion for hockey alive, and then even if she doesn’t go pro she’ll remember it fondly

When it gets hard, help her figure out if she wants to push through, because she loves the sport, or if she loves the attention it gets her. If it's the first, great! If it's the second, encourage her

The trauma doesn’t come from being praised/recognized for your accomplishments, but from being invalidated and feeling worthless when/if you no longer want to do it.

The difference is you don’t want her to do it for you. You want her to follow her dreams not yours. It’s ok to tell her how good she is and help her believe in herself.

You can always support her in her hard work and efforts! She deserves to know when she’s done a good job, but you can also be supportive if she ever decides it’s not for her anymore. 🥰

The best support is being there, every practice you can manage, every game. Get her the good stuff even tho it costs a bit more. Quality will help her thrive. Just be there, and cheer her on.

Ask her how she thinks she is doing, let her know that you notice how good she is and acknowledge accomplishments. No demands, just support and acknowledgement. There is zero harm, in being proud.

Don’t ever tell her it’s stupid or dumb. Show up to her games, cheer her on. Make it known you are proud. My dad hated I played soccer growing up, and that shit hurt. I played for 15 years.

You support it, because it is HER idea. Your support, unless she decides differently. I have seen the kids that are pushed and the kids want to be playing(happy kids).

There’s a lot of sports psychology articles online that might guide you in the right direction. Usually better to focus on the effort she has put into the sport rather than just how good she is at it.
