Children's Healthcare of Atlanta's tips on how to parent a child athlete

Fall sports are back in high gear and kids are back out there on the field trying hard to get the win. Win or lose, youth athletics come with some important life lessons. Dr. Stephanie Walsh, director of child wellness for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, joins Good Day to discuss some tips for how to teach lessons through sports to your children.

Dr. Stephanie Walsh of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta talks Sports and Kids: Child sports are fun and keep you active, but they also teach life lessons like failure. You can’t win every game – no matter how hard you try, sometimes you lose. It’s important that kids understand that failure is a positive thing because it leaves opportunity for learning and there’s nothing to be ashamed about. Dr. Stephanie Walsh gives tips to parents on how they should handle having a child who is involved in sports.
