In Good Company

“The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat” are best when shared with others. Sports represent life. Sports display the character of players and spectators alike.

I really appreciate TV or Print ads featuring parents and children regarding sports. Their message is mainly focused on spending quality time with children. This is remarkable because along with this beautiful message is the teaching of values which children should learn in life. Sports represent life. Sports display the character of players and spectators alike. Sportsmanship is the ability to maintain proper attitude with regards to success and failure. Nobility and dignity are promoted in games played in stadiums as well as in the game of life. If we enjoy watching games with friends, we should enjoy them much more with our children.

Children should always be in good company. What could be better company for children than their parents? There is no excuse for parents who don’t spend time with their children. Being with your children in sports and not only in movies is one of the best times your children can have. It doesn’t only mean bringing them to stadiums but playing with them at home as well. Yes, you should play with them at home and trying your best to let them enjoy the games as much as possible. A father can teach their children basketball or baseball and the mother can engage them in indoor sports. No matter who you are, there is a game you can play. All you need is the sincere interest in it.

Studies show that children who go into drugs as well as children with problems come mostly from families where parents have no time or practically no time for their children. We should always have time for our children and we could always keep them in good company – our company.
