Damage Control in Children's Sports
Parents can't afford to sit on the sidelines when it comes to kids' safety. Help yours avoid injuries by doing the following: TAKE THEM FOR A PHYSICAL
Do this before they start any sport, preferably with a pediatric sports specialist. He can administer specific tests to pinpoint weaknesses and suggest appropriate excercises or precautions. CHECK UP ON YOUR CHILD'S COACHES OR TRAINERS
Make sure they've had formal training in sports safety or that someone who has is always present during the games and practice. Watch how they treal injured players-do they keep them in the games or put them back too soon? Are athletes outfitted with proper safety gear? If you have concerns, don't let your child participate until you get a satisfactory response from schoo, camp, league officials. INSIST THAT YOUR CHILD PACE THEMSELVES
Once your child takes up a single sport, insist that they vary their weekly activities, whether it's riding their bike or going hiking with the family. Experts advise taking one or two days off from competitive games or practice every week. BE ALERT OF BURNOUT
Red flags include overall fatigue, poor academic performance, nonspecific muscle or joint problems, and sluggishness or lack of focus during games and practice. |
