I play every week and I guess I used to be a better puck-ducker. During,one of the pick-up games, I got in the way of a slap shot and it cost,me five teeth and 30 stitches both inside the mouth and outside.
The way I was parented did affect my parenting - probably in the reverse. My dad was pretty strict, and the next generation probably wants to be less strict.
As a father, my first priority is to help my sons set and attain personal goals so they will develop self-confidence and individual strength. Engaging in regular fitness activities with my children helps me fulfill those responsibilities.
About 100 things that your kid will do that will surprise you and break your heart and it will be a combination of fact based therapy, medically advised kinds of passages accompanied by celebrity anecdotes and just some funny stuff to lighten the load.
Fitness needs to be perceived as fun and games or we subconsciously avoid it. .
