Yancy Camp Workout 497

The past 12+ years I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to work with thousands of middle and high school student athletes. And for the past 11 years, I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to help my wife raise our 11 & 7 year old kiddos. It has been nothing short of a epic journey and I value this time more than any other coaching opportunity I’ve ever had. It has shed the light on different parenting techniques that aren’t the end all be all but statistically speaking, have provided a clear understanding of why many students conduct themselves the way they do. You can narrow this down to three different parenting patterns.
1) The student that we’re coaching has been in pretty much total control of the parent or parents for numerous years. Over the course of many years, the parent has succumb to the child/young adult and will accommodate pretty much everything the child/young wants. The parent provides, provides, provides, and there is a lack of respect and willingness to be a part of the family team in a productive way.
2) The student has been raised by a parent or parents who have led in an overbearing controlling manner. The parent or parents demands respect and doesn’t reciprocate in a healthy manner.
3) The student has grown up in a household where the parent or parents have managed the parenting process in a way that has provided strong direction and coaching for the child/young adult while also allowing them to have a voice in the family dynamic. Parenting in a way where everyone is on the team and everyone respects each other. Parenting where the parents are unquestionably the managers of the household but like all good managers, the employees are respected and play a key role in the success of the business (family). In return, the employees (children/youth) have great respect for their manager (parents). *As I said above, this isn’t the end all be all but there’s some definite truths to what I’m covering in this piece.
I could go in to great details on these three categories but I’m sure most of you get where I’m coming from. As parents, we are grooming our kids for their future journeys in life. This is not debatable! It’s not a fail safe plan, but purposeful and consistent parenting with sound principles will usually pay off in the long run. Have a contract with your kids. The entire family should sign it. Lay out the ground rules and let your kids have a few line items in the contract. The should always have a voice. This doesn’t mean their opinion/plan will be the way the family goes but it does mean they are listened to in a respectful manner. Parents, you are the managers of the house. Don’t let your kids run the home. They aren’t prepared to manage the business. You are the General Manager of the house. Even with all your faults and imperfections, trust me, you need to be the one managing the house. All too often we deal with children/youth that are in a constant battle with their parents as they try to rule the roost and all too often, the parents allow it to happen. No matter how busy you are, take extra time every single day to have conversations with your children. Talk life, business, health, fitness, faith, love, respect, love languages, school, friendships, careers, dreams, goals, and so much more. *I’m not posting this as if I’m the perfect parent. Far from it, and it doesn’t matter how things are now and which way we lean, we can all strive to do the best we can each day. Much love to all you rockstars – Yancy
