You know what gremlins are and you will be expecting them. Take care to not blame yourself or to get mad. Simply deal with these little furry guys and get on with the game. Most parents want their children to enjoy and be successful in sports. They spend time and money in helping their child have the best chance of becoming a good golfer.
Parents can become very active and supportive in the mental side of training.
It is almost always a mistake to become either officially or unofficially the child s physical trainer or coach. This usually a bad idea because first you probably are not qualified to teach golf. Twenty years of lessons is not the criteria for being your child s coach, nor is the fact that you have won the club championship three times. It is much better to be the child s biggest fan and supporter than it is to be his or her trainer. You can help the child in the mental area of golf by learning all you can about how the mental game disrupts and also enhances physical performance.
