Episode 287: Lessons Learned From Cheerleading

Listen to this Whinypaluza Wednesday Live vlog episode with The Greene Family! An extension of the weekly blog, join Rebecca and her family on the live vlog, brought to you here in case you missed it last week!   Here is what to expect on this week’s show: Hard work pays off! Lessons learned in one area of your life will bleed into other areas of your life. Being involved in extracurricular activities teaches you to balance the multitude of things we have going on in our lives. Perseverance! Sometimes you will feel tired and overwhelmed. Pushing through teaches balance and organization. Being involved in a sport builds your physical strength AND your mental strength. In life, you can’t always be perfect, but it doesn’t mean it will derail you. Keep going and be strong. Having other leaders in your life is beneficial. The bond of a team improves the performance and outcome. Adults in our kids lives will be strict and have expectations. There is time to play and be fun, and time to study and work hard. Team bonding teaches how to be supportive and encouraging. Your kid might not be the most talented at the activity they are in, but what they learn and how they grow is the most important part. Attendance, commitment, perseverance, encouragement, support, strength, balance, discipline, determination—all strengths that come from being involved in extracurricular activities. Find enjoyment in the hard work! Hate it now, love it later! There is growth in the exertion. Work hard, win big! Don’t feel intimidated by something that seems like it might be too hard. You don’t know until you try! If it doesn’t work out, you can always try something new.   Follow Rebecca Greene Blog  https://www.whinypaluza.com/ Book 1  https://bit.ly/WhinypaluzaBook Book 2 https://bit.ly/whinybook2 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/whinypaluzaparentingandmarriage  Instagram https://www.instagram.com/becgreene5/ @becgreene5 TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@whinypaluzamom?lang=en @whinypaluzamom YouTube https://www.youtube.com/WhinyPaluza     Learn more about your ad choices.
