3 Faith Principles for Navigating Youth Sports, with Dr. Dave.

Welcome to part II of our summer series on parenting and youth sports. Be sure to catch last week’s (packed!) episode if you missed it! Today my husband Dave is with us to consider 3 important FAITH PRINCIPLES that impact our kids’ athletic endeavors.  Background: Dave played soccer through the collegiate and professional level, and we are both super competitive people. We have navigated parenting our four sons through all kinds of recreational sports, and now our son, Luke, is a professional surfer, and our youngest son, Levi, is passionate about competitive golf.In today's episode Dave and I are passing on principles that we have learned and are constantly working on in our own family. From the purpose of sports, to helping kids remain grounded in their identity (apart from sports), to keeping our family's priorities straight, I think this is all practical and relevant to all kinds of sports and other activities.Whether your kids are highly competitive or just do sports for fun, I think we cover a lot of important ground in this conversation! Find show notes and links to everything mentioned at: www.monicaswanson.com/dave-swansonAll podcast episodes can be found at: http://www.monicaswanson.com/podcast Looking for math or science homeschool curriculum?
