Sports Talk

How do you get kids into sport without becoming THAT parent?

My oldest is 7 and wants to try everything: football, swimming, now apparently floorball because a friend does it. Which is great. But I'm already noticing myself at the side of the pitch getting a bit too into it.

How do you keep it fun? Do you let them quit when they want? Push them to stick with one thing for a season? How much do you actually say after a game, or is it better to just say 'did you have fun' and buy ice cream?

Would love to hear from parents, and also from people who remember what their own parents did right or wrong.
