Being a dance parent can be tough! In this episode, I’m bringing on special guests, social and emotional learning experts (and parents), Marie Weller and Paula Vertikoff  to discuss how parents can best support their children in competitive sports, how to help kids stay motivated and focused, and how to deal with competition anxiety.  Marie and Paula have been featured on NPR, Fox 5 NYC, are curriculum contributors to Ball State’s Teacher’s College, and have a growing youtube channel that teaches kids (and parents) about growing healthy social and emotional skills.  Make sure to check them out at recipes4sel.com and https://youtube.com/channel/UCc5Ip3u9ZIczUEc3_yTz-6g If you like this episode please rate and review so I can continue to create more podcasts just like this!
