Flusterclux With Lynn Lyons: For Parents Who Worry
When the Culture of Kids' Sports Turns Toxic

A listener question prompts a discussion about kids and parents and sports culture. While sports and competition and teamwork offer so many great opportunities, when does it go too far? How does a parent handle when the lure of having a talented athlete…or the heartbreak of the kid who sits on the bench? What does sports offer and how do we keep our eyes on the right prize?
