Make it a Family Movie Night with These Memoriable Sports Movies for Teens

As our kids get older, spending time with mom and dad becomes a far less exciting option for them when it comes to how they want to spend their free-time.  This is totally normal, even if it’s hard for us parents to accept.

But it doesn’t mean that we should give up all together. Family ties are still super important and even our big kids need to feel like we’re making the effort to stay connected with them. We are their foundation and sometimes they just need to retreat to the safe place that is home.

The trick to getting our tweens and teens to actually want to spend time with us, often means meeting them on their turf. We need to recognize what is important to them in this stage of life and share in their interests.

One big area of interest and involvement for our tweens and teens is sports.  It’s become a growing part of our culture and a HUGE number of middle and high schoolers participate in some kind of athletic program.

So, when you think it’s time for a little family bonding, why not suggest a family movie night watching one of these great sports themed films. Some are modern favorites, while others are classics that have endured across several generations.

Plan some family time with your tween or teen athlete by scheduling a movie night and enjoying one of these inspirational sports movies for teens.

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
