would you support your child to be a basketball athlete ?

I and my husband are very supportive of our kids when it comes to their interests whether it is in sports, IT and music. So there will be no problem if they will tell me one day that they want to be a basketball player. By all means we will be happy to support them. I will be a proud stage mother for having a basketball player son. Who knows he can be the next Michael Jordan and be known in the entire world. A special kid (with autism) excels in sports…

Maybe , I will let him play basketball if I see he can improve his playing ability.As you have he is not so good, so if there is a chance to improve his playing then why not. I will also advise him too, that it is better to have a regular job than basketball playing because it's not a profession that pays when he gets old.

yes, why not to support our child,basketball is a good sport,is very healthy and also can be made our child very strong and will build confidence among children,as you know, the child always have different dream in different period, but no matter to be basketball athlete is still their dream when they have been growing up.i will give them support for ever.

hi friend, i want my son/daughter be an sports person.. not only basketball. based upon his/her interest i support my child

Well if hes young and really likes it there is nothing for him to lose. A lot of people told me don't get a job that you don't like since its not going to give you a good future. The best way is to do what you love and sports is a great thing to do. I would support him for paying for the jerseys and so on. And you never know he might just become the next basketball legend.

You should support him, the future in unknown, please believe he can find his future in basketball if he really like it and is willing to make an effort on it.Even if he hasn't enough talent to be a basketball athlete, he can get a job like basketball coach, who knows. I understand you.

I would support my child in all their dreams. If she was not very good in basketball, then I would still support her. If they are not good enough to do it for a living, then they will find that out fairly early on....probably while still in highschool. I would also encourage my child to have back-up interests. I would do this even if they are great in the sport or whatever their dream is. That way they have other skills to fall back on if say they were injured or didn't make the cut or even just got tired of it. It's always good to have a back up plan ...or two or three.

Yeah I don't see why not. I wouldn't discourage any body from something that they enjoy doing. If they like doing it then they probably have a lot more drive to try and reach their goals in their interests.

whatever my children's talent and like, i would support them, basketball is a good sport. it builds confidence among children, and make their bones healthy and strong, because basketball is a good form of exercising.

Why not? If that was what he wants then I will definitely support him.

I think we should respect our kids choice. If he really loves to play basketball, I will support him without hestitation. Interests is the money can not buy, we can never image how potential of our kids. Sometimes parents is not a good judge of talents. They just see the current performance of the kids to judge that the kid is not good at it. Trust me, support him if he has much interest in it no matter what is the result, someday you will find the amazing result on him that you never predict. Happy mylotting.

Hi zhouxi! Well I support my child on whatever they would like to do with their lives! As long moral than I think that its okay.. Just remember that is not the only thing that he should concentrate on... Basketball can only last so long, he will need a back up plan! But support him, for all we know he could be the next Michael Jordan! Have a nice day!

If I was the mother for the boy, I will help him to take the basketball as a hobby, not professional. You question also remind me that, there is one of my roomates in universtiy,that,one night,we were talking about you want a girl or a boy to be your child.You know, in china, we can only have one baby. One of the girl,she like the boy playing basketball so much,she said, she want a boy good at basketball, and everyday, plays basketball for a period time then go home. hehe~~ In my opinion,if the boy are not good enough, I will not agree him to take it as life job.Maybe it is only an temporarily plus for him, after that time, he himself will realize more about life.So as parents,we should tell more things to child when he doen't know enough.Later, he will understand!

Basketball is the most well-loved game in our country. Boxing comes in second. With several professional leagues and many professional teams vying for for each championship trophies. If my son hope to be a basketball player in the future, I will be there in every game he played, cheer in every ball he shoots, and yell my hearts out.

I support my kids in almost all of their desires/dreams....Even if they werent or arent very good at something I think its great that they want to try ya know...I also think its important not to mention healthy for them....So what if they arent good at it..at least they tried and put in an effort....

Hello zhouxi. My son does not like sports. Besides, he is not tall enough to be a basketball player. If he was qualified to be a basketball player, for sure I would support him.

If my kid like to play basketball ..then sure I will support him.Even if he is not good I will arrange the best available to make him/her best.
