The Problem of Youth Sport in Community

Sports for Kids Community

Sport is very important in the life of every child because it is a chance to meet new kids and to learn a whole lot about life by playing and socializing.  It is how kids become healthy adults and not only in the physical way.

It is also very important for the psyche, learning how to win and lose and how to be a friend.  Kids who play sports learn how to be persistent, how to be passionate about something and just how important it is not to give up when the obstacle appears.  However, lately, some problems have been noticed concerning youth sport in the community.

The parents who are involved too much

In this competitive age, many parents forget how important it is to let a child play and learn by himself a home to carry himself in life.  There are so-called helicopter parents who want to control everything and get involved in every part of the play.

If their child makes a mistake, they blame the coach and want him to do something about it.  Some even go to further lengths and wants their child to go to another team thinking that this one is no good for him.  This is truly not the case.  Children learn through trying, making a mistake and learning from it.

If the child is afraid to make a mistake, then you will have one frustrated individual scared to live a life.  Some parents react immediately after the mistake is done humiliating the child by yelling in front of the peers, demanding to know why he couldn’t do a better.  It is a vicious circle and it completely shifts the focus from the game and enjoying it to the need to win.

Winning at all cost

Since the successful sports players have better chances of getting into a great college and having a better life, there is a great pressure on the kids to win.  When a child with that kind of surrounding loses, there is a very strong reaction to it.  This may lead to all sorts of problems, including developing anxiety.

This is not at all the point of sport, because playing sport should be primarily an enjoyment and then everything else. Otherwise why should some parents even introduce their wards and kids to enhancement supplements, even if you claim they are legal or harmless?

Many research has proven that children are very impressionable heart, very inquisitive and would take things to higher levels – positive or negative. When you introduce kids to read reviews about legal anabolic steroids because some shady sellers claims them as safe, what stop the kids from trying illegal stuff and even hard drugs as adults?

It should be a way you for a child to learn how to behave to get the results he wants, to improve the game, to give his best and to see the fruits of his labor.  Your child should be in control of the game.  This is how one responsible individual gets developed.

Starting at the early age

There are a great variety of sports that a child can choose from, play and enjoy.  However, lately and there has been a change in the age when the child starts training.  It’s been noticed that some start even at the age of four.  This is too early to impose on a child’s to win, try harder and be dedicated to a sport.  It should be a time when the child learns to play.  At this age, children don’t even understand the concept the winning.

This can only happen later on, at the age of six or seven because the child is much more mature and understands more.  It’s has been noticed that children who start early get fed up quicker with the game and I want to give up.

The need for winning and ambition should not be put in front of the child’s needs.  A wise parent knows how to follow his child’s development and understand when is the right time to introduce something new and when it’s time to let the child learn some things by himself.

Learning the rules of the play

The rules of the play should be introduced to the child’s in the school slowly so the child can have enough time to learn at his own pace without the pressure.  When there is no pressure, there is no fear of failing and the child can freely develop into a successful, happy individual.

This means the child who loves playing will be happy to spend the time on the court.  It is very important for this natural process to happen without intervening of parents because if the pressure starts building up, in end the effect will be completely opposite of what has been expected.  When the desire of a child is too fragile at first, any pressure from the parent can do more harm than good.

The coaches who don’t like their job

The role of a coach is essential in the life of every child.  It should be a person who will teach the children not only how to play a game, but also how not to give up, how to win and lose, how to be a friend and be stable and persistent.

It should be an inspiring person who will be there in the times when it’s tough, but also how to give the right push when necessary.  Some coaches simply don’t belong to this position.  Even though they teach the children to win, there is that the other part of the coin which is also necessary.  Looking at this position simply as a job is not enough.

These issues need to be addressed, but they will continue to be present.  It is not easy to change something that has become widespread.  Competitiveness is something that we can all see everywhere.  It has become a drive of many people who simply don’t know how to lose and how to accept the fact that losing also happens.

It is completely normal part of the life and should be seen as such.  Developing a child’s personality takes time, dedication, planning and lots of understanding and love.  Being an understanding parent will help you to develop a great relationship with your child, but also to give your child a chance to learn some things by himself.  It is a chance for a child to become a successful adult.…

What Is The Difference Between Charity And Social Work?

Sports for Kids Community

Most people often mistake social and charity work to mean the same thing, which is normally a wrong concept. This is because they have never taken time to find out the main difference between social work and charity. The two terms and the activities that both engage may seem similar but the truth is there exist a difference even if it is slight. In this article, I want to highlight the small difference that exists between charity work and social work.

The first difference between charity and social work is based on objective. The main objective of charity work greatly lies on helping people who are in dire need of help to attain a descent standard of living and having their rights protected. catholic charitiesSocial work on the other hand is based on poverty ancient civilization and religious beliefs of the world. It main involves Health care, poverty alleviation, legal aid, sustainable development, domestic violence, education, addiction, child abuse, homelessness among many other things. 

Another notable difference is in terms of payment. Charity work is an act of helping people by giving objects such as clothes or food, money, or any other resources that can help improve their lives without being paid and does not require any formal training. Social work on the other hand is a paid job and requires formal. It involves working with people from different walks to be emotionally supportive and to help them connect with other outside agencies which can include charitable organizations.

Another difference is that charity work involves helping an individual or a group of people obtain what they need at the moment whereas social works involves training and motivating individuals or a group of people, to help them acquire or earn what they need not just at the moment but in their entire lifetime. In other words, the aim of social work is to help people solve their own problems.

Charity work is a short term work that may not go beyond  three years as it involves giving people what they need right away. However, social work is a long term project and has pre set goals that may take more than five years to achieve.

Though the two terms may seem similar in terms of objectives, there however exists a small difference and I hope that by reading through this article, you have had an insight of the difference between charity work and social work.

What Are The Causes Of Racism?

how to stop racism

Racism is one of the most common problems affecting human kind. It haunts our current relationship with others as well as degrading the future. Even though it is a common issue on earth, most people don’t know exactly what cause racism, yet most of them are racist. In order to cub racism, we need to understand what causes racism. Here are some of the causes of racism:

Poor upbringing

Most parents bear the responsibility of what their children believe in and what they think about other people of different races. Each time a parent talks or responds harshly to another person of a different race, they are sending a message to their children that such kind of people should be treated that way and this is how racism begins. Hate starts from the parents and spreads to the children making it very hard to change as it becomes part of their personality.

Peer pressure

Friends can have the same effect as parents. Associating yourself with people who believe that a particular group of people are not worth associating with can influence you to hate that group of people as you are likely to listen to your friends. You are therefore more likely to agree with what they say about people from another race and this can lead you to become a racist.racism effect

Personal Experience

People who have been assaulted by people from another race tend to develop fear and hatred towards that particular race. This is normal but as you develop much hatred about this particular race, it becomes racism. Some people even go as far as influencing other people from their race to hate that particular race, hence contributing to racism at a great extent.


Most people are fearful about what they don’t know or understand. If a child is brought up with people from his or her race alone, then the child is more likely to resist people from other races. This is not a common case, but when someone is fed with negative stereotypes and has no life experience about staying around people from other races, he or she  is more likely to be a racist.

That is why it is essential for children to grow up around people from other races to ensure that their minds adapt and to avoid believing in negative statements from stereotypes.

Other causes of racism can be stereotypes and selfishness. Racism is a bad thing and as human beings we should do everything possible to ensure that it does not crop in our society. It is not the government’s responsibility to fight racism but yours. Starting fighting racism today and change the world.…

Community Service Volunteering Gives Lots Of Joy And Happiness

Community service

What runs through your mind when you hear about this term? Yes, it is a voluntary job that does not pay and is performed to the advantage of other people within the community. However, many people think of community service as a mandatory sentence or some sort of payback to the community. In fact, some countries require that teenagers participate in community service. Some institutions even mandate it as a graduation necessity. And so, to most people, community service comes with a lot of mixed reaction and can be seen as an obligation unwillingly service

However, that is not community service. Community service should not be looked into as a punishment but rather an exciting activity done on one’s own accord and with the general idea that we are all one, and that assisting each other, we will all succeed.

So what is community service?

Community service is a voluntary act you or a group of people with a common goal can do within your community to help improve the lives of people living in that particular environment. Community services are self-sacrificial and do not pay. Instead, one finds the joy and happiness of helping an individual or perhaps the entire community succeed or solve a particular problem.

How does community service volunteering bring joy and happiness?

Life is a series of giving and receiving. Sometimes, community service may involve repetitive works that make you feel like you are a slave and others are benefiting from your slavery. It may not be fun and you may think of several other things that you could do to improve your life. But doing things that you like for people you love, could actually bring a lot of joy and happiness in your life. The connection, compassion, and care you feel about others is what can make you happy.

Participating in a community service implies that you have a goal to accomplish. Be it educational, social, or financial goals, it is the sense of accomplishing these goals that will bring joy and happiness to you. Knowing that you have accomplished your goal as a community volunteer and that people are happy with your services will make you proud. The sense of pride brings about excitement and joy out of the passion for community service.

Knowing that your help is needed and that your service in the community has positively helped change the status of the community brings a lot of comfort. It helps drive away the sense of worrying too much about others and in turn, bring joy and happiness in seeing that everyone within the community is happy with your services.

As I conclude, think about those things that will help bring a difference at one corner of the world. Think about what you will enjoy sharing to help change the world and see that everyone is happy. This is the time to make the world a better place.…
