Good Sport Gwen

Dear Parents

Discusses how there’s all sorts of good sports, and it’s important to bounce back after running into a setback. Topics include:

• Look for good sportsmanship in others
• Give new activities a try
• Put fun first
• Set a personal goal
• Be a cheerleader for others
• Brainstorm fun and fair ways to form teams to keep things even and fair
• Ask how each member of teams contribute
• After defeat or a disappointment, let your child blow off steam healthily
• Make a Feel Better Box where your child can store drawings of favorite activities
• We can’t always control what happens, but remember to look ahead for the next game
