In our society, sports can be a really big deal for kids and parents. About 40 million kids play youth sports in the U.S. and numbers are up! Right now we’re in the thick of 
football season and fall soccer, with basketball fast-approaching. On today’s show, we’ll tackle some of these sports-related issues:
- Too young to lose? How do you feel about keeping score, trophies, etc?
- Passionate parents on the sidelines: Walking the line between supportive and overbearing.
- Kids, sports and injuries: How do you feel about your kids playing potentially dangerous sports?
